What is WireGuard, how does it work, and when should you use it? Simply put, WireGuard offers end to end encryption of traffic between two endpoints. We’ll cover WireGuard's implementation, protocol, and cryptography and compare it to IPsec, ngrok, and OpenVPN in terms of security and performance.

David Crawshaw
Crawshaw likes writing computer programs and accidentally turned it into a career, a decision he works every day to not regret. He’s not a cryptographer or a security person, but he likes maths and thinks elliptic curves are pretty neat and/or infuriating. Worked at Google for a while, writes lots of Go (and C, but only when no-one is watching). He’s the CTO of Tailscale.
