PfSense and NordVPn (WireGuard/NordLynx)
-
So after some reading, I understand that the PfSense team are very slowly working on getting WireGuard added to the FreeBSD Kernel and in support.
My question is, do we know if this is Client / Server?
I am wondering if when this is released if we are able to utilise NordVpn's NordLynx in the equivalent way we do now with OpenVPN and tunnel all local traffic via the WireGuard connection?

It looks like you probably will be able to to me. Unless Nord changes something to force you use their "app".
People using it in OpenWRT don't look to be doing anything beyond coinfiguring the wireguard client, no special sauce required:

Thanks for the link, interesting reading there.
Makes me wonder what the hold up is then for PfSense?

FreeBSD is not Linux.
An in-kernel implementation of Wireguard for FreeBSD did not exist when we started.Steve

@stephenw10 that would explain it ;)
I guess the follow-up question that is on everyone's lips then is, what year do you envision this coming out? 2020.....2021??
