Detailed Notes

Company Overview

Created by Jason A. Donenfeld in 2016, WireGuard is a modern open-source VPN protocol known for its simple code, high performance, and security.

WireGuard has about 4,000 lines of code, far fewer than OpenVPN's 100,000+ lines, making auditing and maintenance extremely convenient. Based on modern cryptographic primitives, it is much faster than IPsec and OpenVPN, and is integrated into the Linux 5.6+ kernel.
