I'm on a team using Wireguard as a primitive in a complex system: http://altheamesh.com

We use Wireguard as an all-purpose tunnel to encrypt bulk traffic in two places in the system. OpenVPN's performance is unacceptable, and IPSec is impossible to work with. Wireguard is very fast, elegant, easy to understand, and well encapsulated. The zealotry is warranted and it's uses go far beyond your basic desktop VPN use case.

Your project looks interesting, but what are your plans to solve the "exit node problem", e.g. one end user downloads child pornography and two weeks later the Uplink node is swatted by the FBI?

We are running exit nodes which are no more risky than running a regular ISP. Other companies are welcome to run exit nodes as well once there is more demand.

EDIT: just to clarify, the exit nodes are in data centers near to networks, they are distinct from "gateways" which are the nodes selling internet bandwidth into the mesh network.

Ok, so the uplink gateways don't actually sink/source packets to the cleartext Internet, they have one more (encrypted) hop to your datacenters first?

How do Wireguard and ZeroTier compare?
