Whither WireGuard?
Whither WireGuard?

It has been just over one full year since the WireGuard virtual private network implementation was reviewed here. WireGuard has advanced in a number of ways since that article was written; it has gained many happy users, has been endorsed by Linus Torvalds, and is now supported by tools like NetworkManager. There is one notable thing that has not happened, though: WireGuard has not yet been merged into the mainline kernel. After a period of silence, WireGuard is back, and it would appear that the long process of getting upstream is nearly done.
