Technical features:

  • WireGuard is invisible to illegitimate peers and network scanners [1]
  • WireGuard uses only UDP protocol (port 41414).
  • Connection-less protocol


  • Curve25519 used for identified peers, using their public key, a 32-byte Curve25519 point


Included in March 2020 into the Linux Kernel 5.6 , available in Ubuntu since Ubuntu 20.10

WireGuard's encryption speed claims to be faster that IPsec group protocols.

  • Debian packages: wireguard, wireguard-dkms, wireguard-tools
