I don't get where all the hype about WireGuard comes from. It's just another VPN, of which we already have several perfectly well working ones. What is so special about it over all the other things that go into Linux and FreeBSD, and that actually do something new and unique and don't make the news?
I'm personally ready to ignore it and add it to my BS bingo card. Blockchain anyone?
I would suggest watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88GyLoZbDNw .
As someone who just wants to maintain a few VPN tunnels without having to be an expert in OVPN/IPSec/whatever, the ease-of-setup and conceptual simplicity of WireGuard is like a cup of ice water in hell.
The order-of-magnitude better performance and excellent security properties are just the icing on the cake, as far as I'm concerned.
