It's billed on Streisand's Github page [1] as working there. I'll be giving it a spin in February as an alternative to Shadowsocks and Anyconnect. Just need Wireguard on Windows now! [1]: https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand

>Just need Wireguard on Windows now! There is a third party Wireguard implementation for Windows: https://tunsafe.com/ https://tunsafe.com/ However the Wireguard creator has some reservations about this third party client: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16515662 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16515662 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17730012 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17730012

    Another well-known problem is expecting people you're not paying to give you something extra after they've already given you great software gratis under a free software license. Apologies if you're a paying supporter, but then you would already know what to expect and when. https://www.patreon.com/zx2c4 https://www.patreon.com/zx2c4 I'm personally happy to wait for the quality official client with upstream support (even though I gave a try to TunSafe without expectation to use it in the long term).

      My concern is zx2c4's attitude. Especially towards TunSafe and the author. He claimed that there are interoperability and security issues, only because it was closed-source, firstly. No proof was given though. Then it became open source, haven't seen any claims of security/interoperability. An independent implementation of Wireguard is a good thing, but zx2c4 apparently doesn't want that. I can't explain the zealous fight against it otherwise. TunSafe's author Ludde also made µtorrent which he so often says. But depending on the version you have it's either good or infested with adware. Although the later one is not his fault anymore, I still wouldn't mention it without the version number that was still good.
