Bug#829107: ITP: wireguard -- fast, modern, secure kernel VPN tunnel



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>

* Package name    : wireguard
  Version         : 0.0.0 (experimental)
  Upstream Author : Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
* URL             : https://wireguard.io/
* License         : GPL-2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : fast, modern, secure kernel VPN tunnel

 WireGuard is a novel VPN that runs inside the Linux Kernel and uses
 state-of-the-art cryptography (the "Noise" protocol). It aims to be
 faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding
 the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant
 than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for
 running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for
 many different circumstances. It runs over UDP.

I'm hoping to get this experimental encrypted IP tunnelling mechanism
wider testing and visibility by making it easier for people to deploy.
