Show HN: Test your WireGuard connectivity and see global stats, no client needed

    Can a user provide the test results back to the central server? This would allow for wireguard censorship observability reporting, opt in of course.

    Similar to the old ICSI Netalyzer: https://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/icsi/gazette/2011/09/netalyzr-...

      Unfortunately the app wasn't designed to intake test results from runs that didn't originate from itself. We wanted to make it harder to submit fake results, and didn't want to add a lot of friction around user auth and such.

        Would you accept a pull request that enables this in a secure and privacy first manner? My team is looking for a project.

          PRs welcome! We may not have much bandwidth to help, but happy to review anything that comes along. We can discuss further perhaps on a GitHub issue so the rest of the Firezone team can offer input: https://github.com/firezone/probe/issues/new.

    FYI this also does run via Termux on Android, which could be mentioned instead of the "Android is not supported" message
    • jamilbk
      Noted! I'll update it to use the Unix instructions in that case. Thanks for the feedback!
    • jamilbk
      I've exposed `Android` as a support OS. Give it a shot now.
      • SushiHippie
        Thanks!

    Awesome, now I can prove that my cell network (MegaFon Russia) blocks wireguard
    • jamilbk
      Great! Did the test report the block accurately for you?
