All of the "clients" you mentioned are just "frontends". They all just produce openvpn configuration files and run the official OpenVPN client. Some of them (Viscosity) use the remote control daemon protocol, to more directly integrate with the openvpn client, but it's still the standard openvpn client doing the bulk of the work. These frontends are just UIs, not full fledged clients.

- xnyan 7y agoSome of the clients mentioned, for example TunSafe, are not GUIs for Wireguard but rather their own third-party implementations of a client to the Wireguard protocol. In context of the linked text, it was not in fact obvious what you meant.
