Most of the time I forget i'm even using wiregaurd until I hit a site that blocks non-consumer IPs, which I think says a lot for just how performant it is - More than simply not slowing down the connection much, it's actually improved reliability considerably for me since I started using it a couple of years ago, in some cases throughput is also improved due to better routing.
It's also made a huge difference to the stability of my SSH connections, making my day to day work a lot more pleasant. Before, SSH connections would arbitrarily drop due to carrier grade NATing ignoring TCP keep alive rules... it's almost impossible to find a consumer ISP these days that doesn't drop idle SSH connections like rocks. With wiregaurd I can keep them alive even while I change connections! my tmux use has dropped to when I actually need to multiplex.
