Thomas Eizinger 99aa973db4 chore(connlib): reduce buffer sizes (#6360)
Currently, `snownet` allocates a 65KB buffer per connection as a
scratch-space for encrypting packets. 65KB is the theoretical limit of a
UDP packet. In practice, the largest UDP packets we send are 1336 bytes
due to the MTU of 1280 set on our TUN interface and various overheads
for WG, TURN channels and NAT46.

Thus, it is unnecessary to allocate such a large buffer per connection.
For gateways with many connections, reducing these buffers results in a
smaller memory footprint.

Additionally, any UDP packets larger than this buffer could be an
indicator of a DoS attack and we can thus drop them without processing.
A legitimate client / gateway will never send a packet larger than that.

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
