Amazing what one can vibe code these days. Not that cool things need a purpose......but is there a purpose or target workload, other than proving you can?
Neat, looks like it has seen better days. The RT-64 is 64m but the RT70 is bigger (70m) and newer. Goldstone in California is also 70m.

What is the point of this article?

Wireguard specifically was not designed for enterprise use, quite the opposite, and enterprise has to do quite a bit of wrapping around it to ensure keys are rotated and this is why tailscale has become so popular.

Sigh.

AEGIS-256X2 can be hardware accelerated but its not really any stronger in the end than ChaCha20-Poly1305. The limitations of that hardware acceleration are not even felt in my experience on single-client connections, and its really the server where you see the pain.

Did surfshark just rewrite or vibe code wireguard with a new encryption algorithm?

Find me a PC in this form factor that is as well tested and supported as the steam boxes are, with the specs they are claiming to have, at this price. Its a little above the curve but a little is not a lot, and you get a fully supported Linux box at that price.

.....and if you think this is expensive just wait until the PS6 and new Xbox are released.
