Is there going to be a section that explains the encryption method used?

Does this program protect against buffer overflows? i.e. safe to expose to the world or does it need port knocking?

Somewhat inevitable if the firewall on the client's end is restrictive and disallow UDP, which is one reason the project exists and why WireGuard doesn't cut it for some.
