Description: fast, modern, secure kernel VPN tunnel (metapackage)

 WireGuard is a novel VPN that runs inside the Linux Kernel and uses

 state-of-the-art cryptography (the "Noise" protocol). It aims to be

 faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding

 the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant

 than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for

 running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for

 many different circumstances. It runs over UDP.

 .

 This metapackage explicitly depends on both the kernel module and the

 userspace tooling.
