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 kernel implementations. The software is part of the broader WireGuard ecosystem, which aims to deliver a fast, simple, and modern VPN built on state-of-the-art cryptography. Because it runs in user space, wireguard-go is especially useful for platforms like macOS, Windows, or restricted environments where kernel modules are unavailable.

Features

  • Userspace WireGuard implementation in Go
  • Creates virtual VPN interfaces programmatically
  • Compatible with standard wg and ip tooling
  • Cross-platform support beyond Linux kernel
  • Foreground or background daemon modes
  • Configurable debug logging via environment variables
