I’m using WireGuard daily on Linux and iPhone. It’s hard to describe how much better of an experience this is than OpenVPN. Connections are reliable and durable, latency is pretty low, and you can actually understand the software.
I setup WireGuard on my Ubiquiti router and have profiles installed on my phone and Mac. Extremely convenient for some basic privacy when on a public hotspot.
And/or ease up on the alcohol.
Just a hunch, nothing intended

Pedantic: Linus’s
More pedantic: Linus' is correct because Linus is a proper noun.
This is hardly a authoritative citation, but it cites a number of authority and comports with my understanding as someone whose name ends in `s`:
"Nearly all authorities agree that if you want to make a possessive out of a singular noun like Kansas that ends in an s, you need to add ’s at the end. Just call it “Ross’s Rule.”"

I've been using WireGuard on my Android phone for a good while now using a free digital ocean droplet via https://github.com/trailofbits/algo It's fast. It's easy. You never have to think about it. It just works.
Do you have any issues with sites blocking the DO IP addresses? I ran this for a while and a number of sites block connections for coming from a data center.

Do you set up nginx or haproxy as a reverse proxy to the wireguard network, or something else? Been wondering if there's an easy way to expose an internal service like that. TCP seems easy, but UDP seems much more problematic.
Check out https://tailscale.com/ a mesh VPN built on top of wireguard.
Looks really promising
THANK YOU Jason for writing it and to everyone else who has contributed code, testing, money, whatever.
I believe WireGuard will become the most widely used VPN above IPsec and OpenVPN. There will still be use cases for them (especially IPsec) but both will lose marketshare dramatically.

As far as I understand it, that's not the general rule. This is hardly a authoritative citation, but it cites a number of authority and comports with my understanding as someone whose name ends in `s`: "Nearly all authorities agree that if you want to make a possessive out of a singular noun like Kansas that ends in an s, you need to add ’s at the end.

> Personal names ending in s are these days often given the regular apostrophe s, whatever their number of syllables or their sound:

> Burns's poetry
> Dickens's novels

> Those who have occasion to refer to classical or biblical names of several syllables may still prefer the apostrophe alone, as with:

As someone who regularly deals with IPSec in conservative network environments, Wireguard can’t gain broad adoption soon enough, in my opinion. Now that it’s merged into Linus’s tree, any word on it getting an official release and the “this isn’t production ready, so no CVEs” disclaimer going away? EDIT: Further back in the thread, Donenfeld says “Please note that until Linux 5.6 is released, this snapshot is a snaps…
If you value WireGuard and can spare a few bucks the inventor/maintainer is getting about 1/10th what they publicly ask for to maintain: https://www.patreon.com/zx2c4
