WireGaurd keeps getting mentioned as the new alternative to OpenVPN, but it sounds like it isn’t available on a lot of BSD’s and doesn’t have much for GUI’s and the like for configuration.

Why would I want to use WireGaurd compared to something like ZeroTier as a VPN layer? Maybe I’m more of a programmer and the notion of a decent api controller for authentication seems nice.

"Isn't available on a lot of BSDs?" Like a lot of people, I'm running it full-time on macOS, and there are FreeBSD and OpenBSD ports.

That’s good to know. I’m going off some other comments which made it sound like it’s not available on BSD’s.

It seemed strange BSD’s wouldn’t be available but I know little about WireGaurd and a little curious how it compares to other systems out there that I’m familiar with.
