#2As the author of WireGuard, I'd STRONGLY advise against using this closed-source implementation, which likely has interoperability and security issues.
We'll have an official Windows client coming out shortly, which won't have these same security concerns.

As the author of TunSafe and µTorrent, I wonder if you base that statement on facts or is it just an attempt at spreading FUD and general dislike against non open-source applications?

No, it's implemented in C++.

zx2c4: Would it be possible for you to configure the WireGuard demo server so that it detects if there are interoperability issues with other clients?

We've got two official WireGuard open source clients coming in the pipeline for Windows and macOS -- one in Rust and another in Go. (Neither are TunSafe, which is C++.)

I'm not going to be playing the interoperability game or wasting time with closed-source proprietary garbage. Simply use a real implementation of WireGuard and you'll be fine.

zx2c4:
I appreciate your software but I think it's good with alternatives, and your attitude is a bit harsh. Why not support alternatives? Isn't the main reason with open-source communication protocols to inspire people to make alternative client/server software? TunSafe seems to be a neat pieace a software and something a lot of people have been waiting for, and Ludvig Strigeus made the best software for the BitTorrent protocol in the early days. Why do you not appreciate that he spend time to make a client that support your protocol? I've been waiting for a wireguard windows client and I would have made one if I had the knowledge. God damn, show a little appreciation?
