fastd: Show the public key to a private key in a configuration file.
$ fastd --show-key --config ${path-to-fastd-conf}
try on your machine

The command fastd --show-key --config ${path-to-fastd-conf} is used to display the public key of a Fastd configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • fastd: It is the command-line utility for Fastd, a secure VPN daemon. It is used to manage and configure Fastd VPN tunnels.
  • --show-key: This option tells Fastd to display the public key contained in the specified Fastd configuration file.
  • --config ${path-to-fastd-conf}: This option is used to specify the path to the Fastd configuration file. You need to replace ${path-to-fastd-conf} with the actual path to your Fastd configuration file.

When you run this command, Fastd will read the specified configuration file and display the public key that is defined in that file. The public key is an essential component of public-key cryptography and is used to encrypt or verify data in Fastd VPN tunnels.
