About WireGuard
WireGuard is a VPN that securely encapsulates IP packets over UDP. Users add a WireGuard network interface, configure it with a private key and the public keys of their peers, and then send traffic through it. Peers exchange public keys in a way the project compares to SSH, and the software handles the connection itself. The project describes its cryptography as state-of-the-art and says it has been reviewed by cryptographers. Its homepage states that it was initially released for the Linux kernel and is now cross-platform, with support for Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS, and Android.
WireGuard does not handle key distribution or pushed configuration. The project states that these tasks are left to other layers, so users must arrange how public keys are shared. The homepage also says the project is under heavy development. Pricing is unknown from the source.
