Go Implementation of WireGuard is the official userspace implementation of the WireGuard VPN protocol written in Go, providing a portable alternative to kernel-level deployments. The project enables systems that cannot run the native kernel module to still create secure WireGuard tunnels by operating entirely in user space. When executed, the program creates a virtual network interface that can be configured using standard networking tools such as wg and ip, closely mirroring the behavior of...

...WireGuard is designed as a general-purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many circumstances. Initially released for the Linux kernel, it is now cross-platform (Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS, Android) and widely deployable.

...No firewall and routing rules to manually mess with. Doesn't leak between reconnects if the network doesn't change. Blocks IPv6 on the client to prevent IPv6 leaks. Works on Linux (kernel >= 3.17), macOS and OpenBSD, as well as DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD in client and point-to-point modes. Adding support for other operating systems is trivial.

BoringTun is a high-performance, portable implementation of the WireGuard VPN protocol written in Rust, designed so that developers and system integrators can run WireGuard tunnels entirely in user space across a variety of operating systems without kernel modules. It implements the core WireGuard protocol — including key exchange, encryption (ChaCha20-Poly1305), and authenticated transport — while omitting platform-specific tunneling stacks, allowing embedment in custom VPN client applications or userspace networking tools. The repository includes both a library for programmatic use and a command-line executable that can act as a userspace WireGuard interface on supported platforms like Linux and macOS. ...
