.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
program
is used to build a VPN with WireGuard and Rosenpass.
.Pp
The optional
.Op explain
and
.Op verbose
options can be used to obtain further help or to enable a detailed view on the
operations, respectively.
.Ss COMMANDS

.It Ar genkey Ar PRIVATE_KEYS_DIR
Creates a new directory with appropriate permissions and generates all the
necessary private keys required for a peer to participate in a rosenpass
connection.
.It Ar pubkey Ar PRIVATE_KEYS_DIR Ar PUBLIC_KEYS_DIR
Creates a fresh directory at
.Ar PUBLIC_KEYS_DIR ,
which contains the extracted public keys from the private keys generated by
.Ar genkey
and located inside
.Ar PRIVATE_KEYS_DIR .
.It Ar exchange Ar PRIVATE_KEYS_DIR [dev <device>] [listen <ip>:<port>] [PEERS]
Starts the VPN on interface
.Ar device ,
listening on the provided IP and port combination, allowing connections from
.Ar PEERS .

.Sh EXAMPLES
In this example, we will assume that the server has an interface bound to
192.168.0.1, that accepts incoming connections on port 9999/UDP for Rosenpass
and port 10000/UDP for WireGuard.
.Pp
To create a VPN connection, start by generating secret keys on both hosts.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
rp genkey server.rosenpass-secret
rp genkey client.rosenpass-secret
.Ed
.Pp
Extract the public keys:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
rp pubkey server.rosenpass-secret server.rosenpass-public
rp pubkey client.rosenpass-secret client.rosenpass-public
.Ed
.Pp
Copy the
.Qq -public
directories to the other peers and then start the VPN.
On the server:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sudo rp exchange server.rosenpass-secret dev rosenpass0 listen 192.168.0.1:9999 \\
peer client.rosenpass-public allowed-ips fe80::/64
.Ed
.Pp
On the client:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sudo rp exchange client.rosenpass-secret dev rosenpass 0 \\
peer server.rosenpass-public endpoint 192.168.0.1:9999 allowed-ips fe80::/64
.Ed
.Pp
Assign IP addresses:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sudo ip a add fe80::1/64 dev rosenpass0 # Server
sudo ip a add fe80::2/64 dev rosenpass0 # Client
.Ed
.Pp
Test the connection by pinging the server on the client machine:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ping fe80::1%rosenpass0 # Client
.Ed
.Pp
You can watch how rosenpass replaces the WireGuard PSK with the following:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
watch -n 0.2 'wg show all; wg show all preshared-keys'
.Ed
