IPFire considers WireGuard |
 |
Usually we talk about distributions introducing new features and options, but sometimes a project avoids new changes or holds off on switching to new technologies and the reasons for those decisions can be just as interesting. The IPFire blog features a post which talks about the WireGuard VPN technology that was recently merged into the Linux kernel. While WireGuard offers some exciting possibilities, IPFire is currently not planning to use it to replace existing VPN options and the blgo post explains why. "The latest thing that is getting a lot of attention is WireGuard - the new shooting star in terms of VPN. But is it as great as it sounds? I would like to discuss some thoughts, have a look at the implementation and tell you why WireGuard is not a solution that will replace IPsec or OpenVPN. In this article I would like to debunk the myths. It is a long read. If you are in need of a tea of coffee, now is the time to make it. Thanks to Peter for proof-reading my chaotic thoughts. I do not want to discredit the developers of WireGuard for their efforts or for their ideas. It is a working piece of technology, but I personally think that it is being presented as something entirely different - as a replacement for IPsec and OpenVPN which it simply is not." |
