Given the occasion, could someone write a paragraph about what downstream effects are expected by wireguard existing? So far I’ve seen mostly technical arguments for it. VPNs have become a more important piece of infrastructure now. The most significant approachability increase really came from mobile based solutions and auto pilot systems like Google’s Outline.

Will WG make a marked difference in stability, speed, approachability for normal users, or what can we expect?

Very exciting! Does anyone know a good howto or a tutorial about it?

I used the Stavros one: https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-to-configure-wireguard/

Great to see 1.0.0 released. I’ve been using it for a VPN to my home network and have been really impressed with how fast it is (and how fast it connects!). The corporate VPNs I’ve used in the past we’re so much slower that it feels like a completely different league, although they support many more features of course.

Actually WireGuard is pretty easy in configuration. You can try any documentation in Internet, it's not hard at all https://www.ckn.io/blog/2017/11/14/wireguard-vpn-typical-set...

I advise you to try it on mobile devices or with unstable interested. It's a miracle!
