We use Wireguard extensively at Monzo. It’s such a workhorse: extremely performant, straightforward to administer. Having dealt with the horrors of IPSec before, I can safely say I’d never go back.
- chrisper 8y agoI used IPSec before because OpenVPN was just too slow. Is Wireguard similar to OpenVPN when it comes to configs?
- dpwm 8y agoWireGuard is simpler to configure than OpenVPN and there's much less to tweak. A real-world config file can be under 10 lines for the client and under (10 + 5 * n_clients) lines for a server. Private and public keys are short base-64 encodings of 256-bit keys and can be generated with the wg command line tool. These live inside the config file.
