I use this to get wireguard in intramfs. I just skip the dropbear related stuff. https://github.com/r-pufky/wireguard-initramfs

I use LUKS on my systems. I use mandos and wireguard in intramfs to connect to a mandos server to unlock LUKS during boot.

Nope. I’ll stick with OPNsense which is open source.

Thats unfortunate. I simply shared my experience. Been a customer for over 5 years so maybe they’ve changed their on boarding of new customers and the emails that are sent out.

No upselling. Yes they might have something in the order process. Like when ordering a VPS you can add windows os or some control panel type software. I didn’t pay anything extra and my domains all have private whois details when lookups are done. The one thing they did offer in the order process for domain transfer was something to do with anycast DNS, but it was just a box on the page and wasn’t in your face or annoying.

No annoying emails either. I only get emails from them related to services I purchased from them which include changes to whois contacts(also usually get a email from CIRA for my .ca domains), bill PDF being ready for download, or additional IP is available and ready for use etc.

Canuck here. I’ve been moving all my domains from porkbun over to OVH. I still use desec.io for the DNS since they’re based in Germany and like to keep it separate from the registrar.

If OVH plays its cards right they’re going to be getting a lot more business from those looking to dump GCS, AWS, and Azure.
