"I'd be curious what a system like wireguard lets you do in terms of bit twiddling."
WireGuard doesn't allow you to do anything in terms of bit twiddling. This is one of the claimed benefits of WireGuard over OpenVPN or IPsec.

- slownews45 5y agoIs it clear that then that as OP says this is a terrible idea? It seems then in keeping with ideas being followed elsewhere. Casually (not a security expert) this makes a let of sense to me. If I'm copying my stack overflow code out for my security stuff, maybe have fewer footguns? Not sure this is a terrible idea then.
