* Package name : wireguard Version : 0.0.0 (experimental) Upstream Author : Jason A. Donenfeld <ja...@zx2c4.com> * URL : https://wireguard.io/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C Description : fast, modern, secure kernel VPN tunnel WireGuard is a novel VPN that runs inside the Linux Kernel and uses state-of-the-art cryptography (the "Noise" protocol). It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. It runs over UDP. --- I'm hoping to get this experimental encrypted IP tunnelling mechanism wider testing and visibility by making it easier for people to deploy.
