# wgsd
`wgsd` is a [CoreDNS](https://github.com/coredns/coredns) plugin that serves WireGuard peer information via DNS-SD ([RFC6763](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6763)) semantics. This enables dynamic discovery of WireGuard Endpoint addressing (both IP address and port number) with the added benefit of NAT-to-NAT WireGuard connectivity where [UDP hole punching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDP_hole_punching) is supported.

See [this blog post](https://www.jordanwhited.com/posts/wireguard-endpoint-discovery-nat-traversal/) for a deep dive on the underlying techniques and development thought.

## Installation
Binary releases are available [here](https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd/releases).

Each release contains 2 binaries:
* `coredns` - CoreDNS server with all the "internal" plugins + `wgsd`
* `wgsd-client` - A sample client

## Building from source
External CoreDNS plugins can be enabled in one of two ways:

1. [Build with compile-time configuration file](https://coredns.io/2017/07/25/compile-time-enabling-or-disabling-plugins/#build-with-compile-time-configuration-file)
2. [Build with external golang source code](https://coredns.io/2017/07/25/compile-time-enabling-or-disabling-plugins/#build-with-external-golang-source-code)

For method #2 you can simply `go build` the contents of [cmd/coredns](cmd/coredns). The resulting binary is CoreDNS server with all the "internal" plugins + `wgsd`.

```
% go build
% ./coredns -plugins | grep wgsd
  dns.wgsd
```

A basic client is available under [cmd/wgsd-client](cmd/wgsd-client).

## Configuration Syntax

```
wgsd ZONE DEVICE
```

## Querying

Following RFC6763 this plugin provides a listing of peers via PTR records at the namespace `_wireguard._udp.<zone>`. The target for the PTR records is of the format  `<base32PubKey>._wireguard._udp.<zone>`. This same format is used for the accompanying SRV and A/AAAA records. When querying the SRV record for a peer, the target A/AAAA records will be included in the "additional" section of the response. Public keys are represented in Base32 rather than Base64 to allow for their use in node names where they are treated as case-insensitive by the DNS.

## Example

This configuration:
```
$ cat Corefile
.:5353 {
  wgsd example.com. wg0
}
```

With the following WireGuard peers:
```
$ sudo wg show
interface: wg0
  public key: JeZlz14G8tg1Bqh6apteFCwVhNhpexJ19FDPfuxQtUY=
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 51820

peer: xScVkH3fUGUv4RrJFfmcqm8rs3SEHr41km6+yffAHw4=
  endpoint: 203.0.113.1:7777
  allowed ips: 10.0.0.1/32
  latest handshake: 14 hours, 24 minutes, 40 seconds ago
  transfer: 840.64 KiB received, 85.54 KiB sent

peer: syKB97XhGnvC+kynh2KqQJPXoOoOpx/HmpMRTc+r4js=
  endpoint: 198.51.100.1:8888
  allowed ips: 10.0.0.2/32
  latest handshake: 4 days, 15 hours, 8 minutes, 12 seconds ago
  transfer: 1.38 MiB received, 139.42 KiB sent
```
