Now I really want to know when raspbian will get linux kernel 5.6. The most recent version of raspbian came out in February 2020 and uses linux kernel 4.19, which came out in late 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history

If you're subject to state level actors attacking you, a VPS is probably the least of your worries. If you're just trying to make sure some kiddiot in a coffee shop isn't doing mass collections, a VPS is perfectly secure.
Linode has been compromised how many times now? I don't think considering a VPS insecure is really that far fetched.
If you want to be secure against local adversaries, use TOR.

#74Can someone explain why we need/want to put it into the Linux kernel?

How does raspberry pi run on stock Ubuntu?
Wireguard was too alluring to not try though, and now I really like it. I would like to move away from my homemade pull, build, and install scripts, but not for any good/justified reason. I suppose I just like the idea of someone being responsible for a software stack that I rely on.

I think the idea is that you're supposed to build a system to manage WireGuard using that sort of information. I.e. WireGuard provides the basic primitives and second- or third-party tooling uses them. I like that idea, because it means that the actual WireGuard core is small and it's usable right now. It is annoying that someone hasn't yet developed neat integrations for WireGuard and stuff I might want to use, but…
Yep, that's what I'm asking for... right now wireguard can only look at configuration text files AFAIK. If it had a way to invoke a command/script to lookup a key/ip, any number of external management systems could be created!

#77I use WireGuard and it works perfectly fine as it is. Can someone explain why we need/want to put it into the Linux kernel?

#78Unfortunately not in time for Ubuntu 20.04 which will be shipping with a 5.4 kernel. Can't wait for Ubuntu to have this builtin!

Just be careful when setting up Algo VPN. Its secure defaults will probably block all other services you're running on your server and render them inaccessible. You might even end up not being able to ssh to your server if you choose not to let Algo set up ssh configurations (because you have your own). I would say install Algo on a dedicated droplet or backup your VPS before setting it up.
