WireGuard VPN Protocol Implementation
Source: wireguard.com
WireGuard is a modern, high-performance VPN protocol that encapsulates IP packets over UDP using state-of-the-art cryptography. It functions by creating virtual network interfaces where routing is determined by public key associations rather than complex daemon states.
