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

running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for
many different circumstances. It runs over UDP.
This package contains command-line tools to interact with the
WireGuard kernel module. Currently, it provides only a single tool:
