  • Concurrent Clients: 1000+ per server
  • Memory: ~50MB base + ~1MB per client
  • CPU: Efficient goroutine-based I/O

🧪 Testing

# Run all tests
make test

# Run with coverage
make test-coverage

# Run benchmarks
make benchmark

# Integration tests
make test-integration

🛡️ Security Considerations

  1. Key Management: Store private keys securely, never commit to version control
  2. Firewall: Configure firewall rules to allow only VPN traffic
  3. Updates: Keep dependencies updated for security patches
  4. Monitoring: Enable logging and monitor for suspicious activity
  5. Access Control: Use allowed_ips to restrict client access

📚 Protocol Details

Handshake (Noise_XX Pattern)

  1. Client → Server: Ephemeral public key
  2. Server → Client: Ephemeral public key + static public key (encrypted)
  3. Client → Server: Static public key (encrypted) + payload

Packet Format

┌──────────┬────────┬───────────┬─────────────┐
│ Type (1) │ ID (4) │ Nonce (12)│ Payload (N) │
└──────────┴────────┴───────────┴─────────────┘
  • Type: Packet type (handshake/data/keepalive)
  • ID: Connection identifier
  • Nonce: Unique nonce for AEAD
  • Payload: Encrypted data + authentication tag
