I will stop doing that. But HN should give the priority to FOSS projects and commercial projects made by single developers and small companies that have no money or other way of reaching out to users instead of helping big companies and startups made by millionaires. As of Wireguard case, if you've been following all popular threads about it throughout the last 2 months you will know what I am talking about.

Don't let HN to become another ProductHunt.

Again, please do your job and delete astroturfing comments and ban these users. This company has been exploiting HN for so long to promote itself whenever a post about Wireguard go to the frontpage. They don't even have a ready product. This website encourages really sneaky types of marketing if you don't take action.

What do you gain by shilling for alpha-tier for-profit software for free? Are they your friends? do they pay you for that?

I didn't say he is angry, my main point was not advertise for free for a company that is built off the work of a single man, especially when it's FOSS, especially when it's a technically piece of genius like WireGuard, while not supporting the man himself. There are known ways for companies to market their paid product, it's called ads.

Of course I am sure he is extremely happy spending 5 years developing the next big thing then others rebrand it for enterprise and become rich.

This is more or less what a senior Frontend dev usually makes in the US. The author single handedly made the first serious FOSS VPN that can replace IPSec and OpenVPN

Don't forget to support Jason, WireGuard's author, on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/zx2c4

I am sick of people shilling to this thing here. Stop exploiting HN for free advertising. Every Wireguard post here has become a free ad for this company.

EDIT: Stop supporting parasites repackaging and rebranding open source and selling it while leaving the author who single handedly made this entire thing possible begging for donations on Patreon

It's pointless to say the least to claim "Private and secure" without at least having client-side AEAD of some sort.
