Does anyone know if any commercial VPN providers implement WireGuard yet on iOS?
> "An iOS app is available in the WireGuard repository, but as it isn't in the App Store yet. It's probably not going to do you any good unless you're an iOS developer yourself."
The article references code for iOS apps but also states that "it needs to be baked right into the kernel for that to happen.". Would iOS apps also need the iOS Kernel (say iOS 12.x or iOS 13.x) to include WireGuard to take advantage of some of the speed advantages over OpenVPN?
- monocularvision 8y agoI don’t think so, although I am hardly an expert. The iOS SDK has the ability for apps to provide custom VPN implementations for use system wide (see: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/nepackettunnelprovider https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/n... ) I don’t know if WireGuard being UDP causes issues, but I would assume it is possible.
- zx2c4 8y agoWireGuard even in userspace is generally pretty fast anyway, since it's multi-threaded.
