![]() It is clearly easier to debug WireGuard.ĭon’t go by its simplicity. Compare it to 100,000 lines of code of OpenVPN (another popular open source VPN). There are way too many things to do here.Īnother good thing about WireGuard is that it has a lean codebase with just 4000 lines of code. Now compare it to the OpenVPN set up guide. You install WireGuard, generate public and private keys (like SSH), set up firewall rules and start the service. Configuring and deploying WireGuard is as easy as configuring and using SSH. ![]() Why is WireGuard so popular?Īpart from being a cross-platform, one of the biggest plus point for WireGuard is the ease of deployment. WireGuard was originally developed for Linux but it is now available for Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS and Android. This made him create a new open source VPN protocol and solution which is faster, secure easier to deploy and manage. Security researcher and kernel developer Jason Donenfeld realized that they were slow and difficult to configure and manage properly. Most of the other solutions like IPsec and OpenVPN were developed decades ago. It’s aim is to provide a faster, simpler and leaner general purpose VPN that can be easily deployed on low-end devices like Raspberry Pi to high-end servers. WireGuard is an easy to configure, fast, and secure open source VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. ![]()
