Hi Everyone, TunnlTo is a tool for controlling which Windows applications, processes, and IP addresses can use a WireGuard VPN tunnel. Here are some examples of how it could be used: - Route only FireFox through a privacy VPN - Route Slack and Microsoft Office through a work VPN - Route a game through a gaming VPN - Stop a game from routing through a privacy VPN - Stop a browser from routing through a work VPN - Route a specific IP address range through a privacy VPN - Route all traffic through a privacy VPN except a specific IP address range I have been collaborating on this project with the creator of WireSock - Vadim Smirnov. "WireSock VPN Client is a lightweight command line WireGuard VPN client for Windows that has advanced features not available in the official WireGuard for Windows such as selective application tunneling and disallowed IP addresses. WireSock VPN Client combines the power of Windows Packet Filter and BoringTun (user space WireGuard implementation in Rust) to provide exceptional performance, security and scalability." The TunnlTo app is built with Tauri and I've used boring old HTML, CSS (bootstrap) and JavaScript as I had major JS framework fatigue. I have previously built a production app with Electron and Vue. Tauri appealed to me for its use of Rust and its small installation sizes. I tried Tauri pre version 1.0 and had a bit of trouble but this time around its been a positive experience. The docs and the Discord community have come a long way. I would appreciate any feedback about the project so I can get an idea of what direction to take it in next. Vadim will be around a little later if anyone is curious about the WireGuard implementation and wants to know more. Thanks for reading!
