I’d also be curious about this. Say for the use case of running a small private chat server hosted on a home network; does either of these seem better suited, or are they just different architectures that can handle mostly similar things?
- rjmalagon 5y agoVery different. WireGuard is explicit basic, only cares how to make an encrypted link between two devices, and do it very well. Key exchange, IP assignation and routing are manual work. There are solution build on top of WireGuard (Tailscale is one of them) that puts some "automagic". YG puts more "magic" on protocol (autorouting, mesh making, etc), but is not that clean on design (crypto not formally tested, latency prone TCP links, not good enough NAT punching, etc). Wireguard and YG are different tools on the SDN network toolbox, and can be mixed for special porpoises.
