A WireGuard mesh gives each site a secure underlay. BGP gives each site a way to tell the rest of the network which prefixes it can reach. GRE, placed inside WireGuard, gives each adjacency a normal point-to-point tunnel …
Encrypted P2P detection is not magic string matching. Once the peer wire payload is encrypted, a DPI engine cannot honestly say “I read BitTorrent from the payload.” What it can say is weaker and more useful: …
BBR is a natural fit for QUIC, but it is not magic. It works well when packet loss is a bad congestion signal. It can work poorly when loss corrupts the measurements that BBR itself needs. That distinction matters on …
GPU acceleration for DPI sounds attractive, but the wrong design can make a router slower. The expensive part is not just “running math.” The expensive part is moving packet data, synchronizing CPU and GPU …
Deep packet inspection for modern web traffic is less about reading application payloads and more about making fast decisions from the few bytes that are still visible. That is especially true for QUIC. After the …
Country-based routing sounds simple: if the destination IP belongs to a country, send it through a different WAN or VPN; otherwise use the normal default route. On OpenWrt, the slow version is also simple: download a …
