WireGuard: next generation in-kernel modern VPN

I think you missed my point. Sure, every VPN solution can be turned into "proxy all internet traffic through there" with enough configuration. What I meant is that tptacek was talking about commercial/serious VPN as in corporate usage, not commercial as in "it takes money from anyone".

You're talking about two completely different use cases with very different goals and potential issues.

You said that WireGuard was not "a real candidate for the case you're talking about", and I explained why it being (eventually) widely adopted for that case is both possible and desirable. I don't see much point in arguing over what tptacek meant.

I think your point, about people using VPNs in situations where their personal computer is more valuable than the VPN connection, is well taken.
