Static boringtun (Wireguard Userspace Client)

This repository leverages GitHub Actions and cross-rs to build a statically compiled boringtun.

Compilation is done using Cargo/Cross and results in the following executables:

• aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu ^{_{✅ Officially supported target}}
  boringtun-cli: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, stripped

• aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
  boringtun-cli: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

• arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 4.19.21, stripped

• armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf ^{_{✅ Officially supported target}}
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

• armv7-unknown-linux-musleabi
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

• armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ^{_{✅ Officially supported target}}
  boringtun-cli: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), static-pie linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

• x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
  boringtun-cli: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), static-pie linked, stripped

Legacy Kernels

For very old devices using legacy 2.6.x+ kernels, usually router firmwares. There are a set of experimental compiles available:

• arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=a99e8f3161e01590d7b9e2294b49db39837c9e7e, stripped

• arm-unknown-linux-musleabi
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  boringtun-cli: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, stripped

32-bit armv5 builds

Very experimental 32-bit builds for very old armv5 based devices with legacy 2.6.x+ kernels

• armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped

• armv5te-unknown-linux-musleabi
  boringtun-cli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

The arm executables should be usable on OpenWRT, AsusWRT & DD-WRT routers.

The wg-go utility to allow WireGuard configuration on ARM devices can be installed from https://github.com/seud0nym/openwrt-wireguard-go/.

Usage

In order to use this on a ARM based kernel 2.6 router, the following steps are needed:

1. Load the tun kernel module with modprobe tun
2. Add the WireGuard client ip address to the tun interface

ip addr add 172.16.0.2/32 dev tun0
ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1280
ip link set dev tun0 up

3. Setup IP routing

# Check /etc/iproute2/rt_tables for available table names
ip route add default via 172.16.0.2 dev tun0 table 200
ip route flush cache

ip rule add from all to 172.16.0.0/24 table 200
# Route only device 192.168.1.99 through the WireGuard connection
ip rule add from 192.168.1.99/32 table 200

4. Enable NAT on iptables for tun device

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING ! -s 172.16.0.2/32 -o tun+ -j MASQUERADE

5. Start boringtun userspace wireguard client

# Single-user router systems cannot drop privileges, multi-queue is not supported on 2.x kernels
boringtun --disable-multi-queue --disable-drop-privileges root tun0
