<![CDATA[WireGuard release 1.0.0]]>Hey guys,

Now that WireGuard is officially 1.0.0 and the Linux kernel will include it by default, would it be time to start including it the following pfsense releases too even as a plugin option?

The security audits have been completed and I would like to see a faster vpn option for all of us.

Tested it and works really fast en easy to setup. Timeline even for beta release would be great.
OpenVpn has so much overhead, and just does not meet the speed requirements with low(er) end hardware.

I'm not familiar with this development process, so is there any guesstimate on how long would it take to be merged, and later adopted into pfSense?

It's not worth including until it's done properly.

Assuming that pfsense can run Go code, it seems like it could be possible that Wireguard could be included as a package.

As we've mentioned elsewhere, we're working on getting it into FreeBSD properly (i.e. in the kernel) but it's a long-term project.
