44Net Connect/Supported Platforms: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:28, 28 September 2026

44Net Connect uses WireGuard. The guides below cover installing a client, configuring a router, or connecting a local network through one tunnel. Coverage varies by platform; each guide describes its setup and limitations.

Start with the Connect Quick Start to create a tunnel and obtain its configuration.

Computers and single devices

Platform	Guide
Windows and macOS	Configure the WireGuard client
Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint	Debian-based distributions
Raspberry Pi OS	Raspberry Pi
Fedora	Fedora

Routers and firewalls

Platform	Guide
OPNsense	OPNsense tunnel setup
pfSense	Tunnel setup and routed subnet
UniFi	UniFi gateway setup and routing notes

Linux gateways for a local network

A routed subnet lets devices behind a gateway use 44Net addresses without running WireGuard themselves.

For a comparison of individual tunnels and a shared gateway, see Ways to deploy Connect. If your platform is not listed, ask through Get Help and include the device, operating system version, and intended setup.

+Net Connect uses WireGuard. The guides below cover installing a client, configuring a router, or connecting a local network through one tunnel. Coverage varies by platform; each guide describes its setup and limitations.
-This page lists platform support for 44Net Connect and who should use each option.
-Use it when you need to choose a device, OS, or router for a tunnel endpoint.
-== What you can do today ==
+Start with the [[44Net Connect/Quick Start|Connect Quick Start]] to create a tunnel and obtain its configuration.
-* Confirm baseline setup flow in [[44Net Connect/Quick Start|44Net Connect Quick Start]].
-* Use [[44Net Connect/pfSense|44Net Connect on pfSense]] for a pfSense firewall or gateway.
-* Verify account and callsign status in [[GetStarted|Getting started]] and [[Portal/Sign Up|Portal Sign Up]].
-* Check whether your target environment can run WireGuard before requesting production routing changes.
-* If your platform is not documented yet, ask in the [https://groups.io/g/ardc/44net ARDC 44Net discussion group].

-If you operate a platform that works (or fails), document the exact OS/version, WireGuard client, NAT or firewall posture, and handshake behavior. Share those details in [[Contributing]] so this page can be updated with reproducible guidance.
