Show HN: wasque – Lightweight Cloudlare Warp Proxy Container for Linux

[MaryJohanna]

Lightweight, unofficial Docker container for the official Cloudflare WARP Linux CLI client. Easily expose a SOCKS5 proxy from within a container—no elevated privileges required!

My previous project unofficial WARP client, usque (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43418120) got great reception so far and Cloudflare recently published HTTP/2 fallback support on their MASQUE protocol. I needed a way to run their official clients in a reproducible, lightweight fashion so that's when wasque was born.

It's a really simple docker container that ships their official client and exposes it as a SOCKS5 proxy.

PS: For now the HTTP/2 fallback seems broken for me in their official Linux and Android clients, I already opened a ticket (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/http-2-fallback-doesnt-wo...). But regular HTTP/3 MASQUE works well.

This is cool, but may I ask why did you choose Cloudflare (when there are better privacy-respecting providers out there)?

[MaryJohanna]

Hey. Totally valid concern. Honestly, I just like MASQUE, quic and new HTTP related RFCs in general. Cloudflare is a pioneer in this area and there isn't too much research in this area yet. My goal is to play around with it, provide proof of concepts and hope that it makes it to mainstream VPN providers and others in the future as well.

Don't know any other VPN provider that would implement Connect-IP yet.

Fair enough! That's like me and DNS, I want to use DoH3/DoQ but there aren't many providers or clients that support it. :(
