Implementing Routing Domains on an OpenBSD workstation for use with WireGuard By: Josh Grosse

  • I operate a small network with both local and remote systems that share a single bastion WireGuard gateway to the Internet. Some WireGuard client applications, such as WireGuard for Android, allow application-level granularity selection for routing traffic via the VPN or not. OpenBSD does not have a client application. It uses a kernel driver, which doesn't make routing decisions. Instead, routing is controlled by the kernel"s routing table or tables.
    When I first deployed WireGuard, I deployed a single routing table, and used routing priorities to route traffic via the VPN if happened to be active and operational, enabling the VPN or disabling it as needed. Eventually, I switch from a single routing table to two, using OpenBSD's routing domains facility.
    This transition afforded me the ability to cease using an all-or-nothing VPN with a single on / off control, and to have application level granularity. OpenBSD admins determine routing domain selection at process initiation via the route(8) exec feature.
