WireGuard: Next Generation Secure Network Tunnel

The state of VPN protocols is not pretty, with popular options, such as IPsec and OpenVPN, being overwhelmingly complex, with large attack surfaces, using mostly cryptographic designs from the 90s. WireGuard presents a new abuse-resistant and high-performance alternative based on modern cryptography with a focus on implementation and usability simplicity.

Amazed about the elegance of WireGuard. Feels both elegant and brilliant in its simplicity. Was looking for a presentation as a walkthough for the white paper. This is a great presentation! Amazed it doesn't have millions of views given the amount of tutorials on wg.

I didn't think I would ever be able to understand WireGuard if it wasn't for this presentation. Seems either none of the KZbinrs or writers who try to explain it really understand it, or they do, but they're terrible at explaining it. Or, of course, I'm not just not smart enough. But this is the guy who conceived and created WireGuard, so he understands it, and crikey, he can explain it, and has clearly sweated blood and tears towards being able to explain it, so I don't have sweat those things. WireGuard seems to me to be one of those technologies where if you put the effort into understand it from first principles-by watching this-you'll get it. And if you don't, you won't, and you'll be, as I thought I was until I watched this, doomed to never understand it. Elegance, indeed.

My thoughts as well! All the youtube tutorials do not seem to explain wireguard properly. And often incorrectly.

Holy shit, Donenfeld is genius !

I know its a stretch but..... he's voice sounds like Edward Snowden.

[@clocked0]

He has a very similar cadence/accent so I can see what you mean

[@surf8168]

@@clocked0 yup, with out the video, his cadence/accent is very close to Edward Snowden. In regards to the video, pretty dope, definitely trying out Wire guard.

[@unforgivn81]

He sounds like Matt Frewer.

[@nadzeyahutsko1094]

Wonderful

[@ArmandoCalderon]

Great.

[@Karu171717]

Compare to Lightway?

[@ulaganath]

Is the secure like other protocol. How its achieve higher throughput than other protocol. As in general only 50% throughput possible in other's

[@jasperzanjani]

this guy's hairline is 15 but his voice is 50

[@infotruther]

Sound quality sucks. Sounds like an echo chamber
