WireGuard is lightweight, fast, and very straightforward to configure compared to traditional VPN solutions. The configuration files are simple and easy to understand, which makes setup and maintenance much easier. Performance is excellent — connections are stable and latency is minimal, even across different regions. I also appreciate the strong security model. The modern cryptographic design and minimal codebase give confidence in both performance and security. It integrates well with cloud environments and works smoothly across Linux, Windows, and macOS. Overall, it provides a secure and efficient VPN solution without unnecessary complexity.

Wiregaurd performance in terms of low latency of data transfer and speed of tunnel establishment is really noticeable to end-user applications when compared to other VPN technologies (and I'm an OpenVPN user of many years, many sites, and many deployment models). The Wireguard client (on iOS) allows you to define rules when it should connect on demand. This feature is simply not a concept in the OpenVPN world where you have to decide to turn the VPN client on or off. With Wireguard the VPN client will establish a connection automatically when you attempt to make connection to an IP address behind the firewall. In the (iOS) client, being able to include or exclude SSIDs for connect-on-demand is a real game-changer, all very easy to configure in the app. As is "only connect when on mobile" networks, etc, it is a well-thought-out implementation. And clients are available for Win/Lin/Mac/iOS/Android/Raspberry.

Implemented with only 4000 lines of code, it is fast and easily examined for vulnerabilities. The integration with Ubiquiti gateways (Dream Machine et. al.) is easily implemented on both the gateway and endpoints. It's cross-platform capability allow connectivity from nearly all endpoints including iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS and Linux.
