WireGuard Implementation for ESP32

This is a port of smartalock/wireguard-lwip WireGuard® implementation to the PlatformiIO/ESP32 stack. It can be used directly in a PlatformIO project by including the following in platformio.ini file in your project

# library dependencies
lib_deps =
    https://github.com/zmeiresearch/wireguard-lwip

An example of how to use the library is available in example folder, make sure to update your configuration in wireguard_vpn.h before testing!

Original README follows:

WireGuard Implementation for lwIP

This project is a C implementation of the WireGuard® protocol intended to be used with the lwIP IP stack

Motivation

There is a desire to use secure communication in smaller embedded devices to communicate with off-premises devices; WireGuard® seems perfect for this task due to its small code base and secure nature

This project tackles the problem of using WireGuard® on embedded systems in that it is:

  • malloc-free so fits into a fixed RAM size
  • written entirely in C
  • has low memory requirements in terms of stack size, flash storage and RAM
  • compatible with the popular lwIP IP stack

Code Layout

The code is split into four main portions

  • wireguard.c contains the bulk of the WireGuard® protocol code and is not specific to any particular IP stack
  • wireguardif.c contains the lwIP integration code and makes a netif network interface and handles periodic tasks such as keepalive/expiration timers
  • wireguard-platform.h contains the definition of the four functions to be implemented per platform (a sample implementation is given in wireguard-platform.sample)
  • crypto code (see below)

Crypto Code

The supplied cryptographic routines are written entirely in C and are not optimised for any particular platform. These work and use little memory but will probably be slow on your platform.

You probably want to swap out the suplied versions for optimised C or assembly versions or those available throught the O/S or crypto libraries on your platform. Simply edit the crypto.h header file to point at the routines you want to use.

The crypto routines supplied are:

Integrating into your platform

You will need to implement a platform file that provides four functions

  • a monotonic counter used for calculating time differences - e.g. sys_now() from lwIP
  • a tain64n timestamp function, although there are workarounds if you don't have access to a realtime clock
  • an indication of whether the system is currently under load and should generate cookie reply messages
  • a good random number generator

lwIP Code Example

(note error checking omitted)

#include "wireguardif.h"

static struct netif wg_netif_struct = {0};
static struct netif *wg_netif = NULL;
static uint8_t wireguard_peer_index = WIREGUARDIF_INVALID_INDEX;

static void wireguard_setup() {
	struct wireguard_interface wg;
	struct wireguardif_peer peer;
	ip_addr_t ipaddr = IPADDR4_INIT_BYTES(192, 168, 40, 10);
	ip_addr_t netmask = IPADDR4_INIT_BYTES(255, 255, 255, 0);
	ip_addr_t gateway = IPADDR4_INIT_BYTES(192, 168, 40, 1);

	// Setup the WireGuard device structure
	wg.private_key = "8BU1giso23adjCk93dnpLJnK788bRAtpZxs8d+Jo+Vg=";
	wg.listen_port = 51820;
	wg.bind_netif = NULL;

	// Register the new WireGuard network interface with lwIP
	wg_netif = netif_add(&wg_netif_struct, &ipaddr, &netmask, &gateway, &wg, &wireguardif_init, &ip_input);

	// Mark the interface as administratively up, link up flag is set automatically when peer connects
	netif_set_up(wg_netif);

	// Initialise the first WireGuard peer structure
	wireguardif_peer_init(&peer);
	peer.public_key = "cDfetaDFWnbxts2Pbz4vFYreikPEEVhTlV/sniIEBjo=";
	peer.preshared_key = NULL;
	// Allow all IPs through tunnel
	peer.allowed_ip = IPADDR4_INIT_BYTES(0, 0, 0, 0);
	peer.allowed_mask = IPADDR4_INIT_BYTES(0, 0, 0, 0);

	// If we know the endpoint's address can add here
	peer.endpoint_ip = IPADDR4_INIT_BYTES(10, 0, 0, 12);
	peer.endport_port = 12345;

	// Register the new WireGuard peer with the netwok interface
	wireguardif_add_peer(wg_netif, &peer, &wireguard_peer_index);

	if ((wireguard_peer_index != WIREGUARDIF_INVALID_INDEX) && !ip_addr_isany(&peer.endpoint_ip)) {
		// Start outbound connection to peer
		wireguardif_connect(wg_net, wireguard_peer_index);
	}
}
