#2Great news. I started using Wireguard instead of OpenVPN and won't look back. Actually it was easy to set up even with DKMS kernel modules but having it in mainline will be great.

#3I've been using WireGuard on my router for the last 6 months, and it's fantastic. I get the full speed of my line through it, when OpenVPN was only giving me 20%. Because of the great plugin they have for Vyatta I'm going to be looking at using it for some stuff at work now too.

Do you only use it to connect remotely into your home network or are there VPN Services for wireguard available?

I use the mullvad VPN service for wireguard. They currently have 44 wireguard servers active around the world.

#8Why does this need to be included in the kernel directly and not just as a loadable module?

When the API it relies on changes, the person doing the change will fix WG rather than the WG maintainers. Also it enables you to update the kernel without having to hunt for the matching release of WG separately.

#10I have a VPS I use for VPN, which means, unfortunately, no custom kernels or kernel modules. So, I'm stuck with OpenVPN. It would be awesome to have WireGuard included in the kernel by default.
