WireGuard for Windows Pre-Alpha Is Available
- TheKitchenSinc 7y agoI've been using the pre-alpha builds since I saw them posted a week or two ago. They've been reliable so far for my simple use cases, and it's nice to move off of a third party Windows client.
- xvector 7y agoWhat are some reputable VPN services using WireGuard?
- jchw 7y agoMullvad supports Wireguard, it’s my VPN of choice.
- simongr3dal 7y agohttps://www.azirevpn.com https://www.azirevpn.com I don't know if they're reputable, but I have used them in the past – mostly because they supported wireguard pretty early on. I had no problems with bandwidth or connecting.
- jbergstroem 7y agoReputable or not, Nordvpn has been beta-testing it for a fair while (I emailed support and got a list of a few peers). It's been working well for me.
- loeg 7y agoNot answering the exact same question, but it’s fairly easy to set up on a cheap cloud VM as well.
- mises 7y agoSame here. Running of a $5/mo VPS and works fine. Wireguard is particularly helpful here, as I get about double the speed compared to openvpn (server-side CPU bottleneck).
- chupasaurus 7y agoAES-GCM uses way less CPU, should check it out. WG with ChaCha-Poly consumes 4-5 times less (hadn't done benchmarks though, I just have Bandwidth meter and CPU% on my taskbar in Linux side-by-side).
- loeg 7y ago> AES-GCM uses way less CPU It depends on if you have AES-NI (for AES) and PCLMULQDQ (for GCM), or similar features on non-x86 architectures. Without them, AES-GCM is usually much slower than Chacha-Poly.
- out_of_protocol 7y agoAny ready to go setup instructions? For IPsec or OpenVPN it's a single bash script, hiding the complexity and the internal mess e.g. https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn
- majewsky 7y agoThe good thing about WireGuard is that it doesn't really have any "complexity and [...] internal mess". A simple WireGuard setup with one client and one server has a 10-line configuration file on each side, with each side knowing their own private key and its peer's public key. I have not used WireGuard for the public VPN scenario, so I don't know if additional firewall rules are required to route traffic from VPN into the public internet, but I would guess as much.
- dewey 7y agoFrom my limited experience of setting it up the complexity is not in the configs files (also not with OpenVPN as you usually just copy paste some template anyway) but in setting up the routing, iptables etc.
- mises 7y agoIt's pretty easy; I suggest using wg-quick.
- ShakataGaNai 7y agoiVPN does: https://www.ivpn.net/wireguard https://www.ivpn.net/wireguard PIA (Private Internet Access) is sponsoring Wireguard development: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2018/09/the-current-status-of-wireguard-vpns-are-we-there-yet/ https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2018/09/the-curre...
- chupasaurus 7y agoTorGuard runs test servers in 3 locations (NY, London and Singapore) since March, using from the start and had no problems.
- nickik 7y agoCheck out mullvad.net They are great. From Sweden and they are bunch of hackers. They helped pay for mullvad and working on their own clients. They were very early with supporting Wiregurad. They also over tons of payment methods, including the ability to send them cash threw the post office.
- brynjolf 7y agoIt is not safe yet to use as a VPN because of the way it is designed, see https://www.perfect-privacy.com/en/blog/wireguard-vpn-pros-and-cons https://www.perfect-privacy.com/en/blog/wireguard-vpn-pros-a...
- sjnair96 7y agoDoes this work in the Middle East (Dubai) where we have DPI as good/better than the Great Firewall? Nothing but Shadowsocks [1] seems to be consistent there. Unfortunately I have had poor/no UDP performance on SS even when enabling the UDP Relay on my Mac. [1] https://shadowsocks.org/en/index.html https://shadowsocks.org/en/index.html
- loeg 7y agoProbably not. Wireguard doesn’t aim for VPN DPI bypass. It might work for now just because it’s new but it’s not difficult to dpi.
- earenndil 7y agoWill this be an eventual goal?
- darklajid 7y agoI fail to find the post on the mailing list right now, but iirc the author prefers WG to be the secure part of the equation, with use cases like Dubai/China relying on other tools to mix up/obfuscate the data hitting the wire.
- aaomidi 7y agoI do hope the author takes this up too. They're extremely talented. Could make a big change in firewall systems. Iran sometimes does data per endpoint analysis and is able to block any VPNs since they're all single endpoint VPNs. If we were able to split the data to, say a few hundred unique ips it would be extremely difficult to block it.
- listic 7y agoWhat are the solutions for DPI bypass?
- earenndil 7y agoDoes a dns proxy work? Just curious.
- locusm 7y agoWireguard for Ubiquiti EdgeRouter here https://github.com/Lochnair/vyatta-wireguard https://github.com/Lochnair/vyatta-wireguard
- loeg 7y ago3rd party or something official out of ubiquiti? Sorry, not super familiar with ERL despite owning one.
- DarkStar851 7y agoThis is a third-party extension, but it looks like the owner is still actively maintaining it, and pretty active on GH in general.
- loeg 7y agoThanks!
- aaomidi 7y ago3rd party but the creator of wireguard is active on it.
- mises 7y agoThis is a completely unscientific test, but I saw about 35mbps down on tunsafe vs 45mbps on the new, official wireguard implementation. I imagine this will get better with time.
- fulafel 7y agoHow does this compare to the TunSafe windows implementation?
- mises 7y agoI got about 35mbps down on tunsafe vs 45mbps on this one. Not a scientific test, but seems to be faster.
