WireGuard Linux

WireGuard Linux is the Linux kernel implementation of the WireGuard VPN protocol, providing high-performance encrypted networking directly within the Linux networking stack. The repository serves as a mirror of the official development tree and contains the kernel-side code that enables native WireGuard support on Linux systems. By operating inside the kernel rather than user space, the project achieves very low latency and high throughput, making it suitable for servers, embedded systems, and enterprise networking environments. WireGuard itself is designed to be a modern, streamlined VPN that uses state-of-the-art cryptography while remaining simpler and leaner than legacy solutions such as IPsec or OpenVPN. The Linux implementation integrates tightly with standard networking tools and interfaces, allowing administrators to manage tunnels using familiar workflows.
