wikipedia:WireGuard is a free and open-source software application and communication protocol that implements virtual private network techniques to create secure point-to-point connections in routed or bridged configurations. It use Noise protocol framework, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24 and HKDF.
Technical features:
- WireGuard is invisible to illegitimate peers and network scanners [1]
- WireGuard uses only UDP protocol (port 41414).
- Connection-less protocol
- Curve25519 used for identified peers, using their public key, a 32-byte Curve25519 point
- Linux:
sudo apt install wireguard - macOS:
brew install wireguard-go
Included in March 2020 into the Linux Kernel 5.6 , available in Ubuntu since Ubuntu 20.10
WireGuard's encryption speed claims to be faster that IPsec group protocols.
- Debian packages:
wireguard, wireguard-dkms, wireguard-tools
