About:

This allows for secure, high-performance networking across a wide variety of systems using the Go ecosystem.

Key Features:

Pure Go implementation for portability
Cross-platform compatibility
FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptography
Userspace operation

Use Cases:

Running WireGuard on unsupported operating systems
Integrating VPN functionality into Go applications

Alternatives:

wireguard-linux-kernel – The kernel module offers higher performance but requires kernel-level access and is platform-specific.
