Wireguard had been widely use by a lot of system. Speed Fast and stable for the vpn tunnel usage.
Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 Warp also using Wireguard as the tunnel for the argo tunnel.
+1 for WireGuard. This thing is fast! Also, much easier to deploy than OpenVPN.
Would be really nice, bringing in some a fresh modern feeling and options…
Unfortunately to take full advantage of it you need a 5.6 kernel
Routeros 7 is on 4.14 as this is a super long LTS kernel. Wireguard just missed the 5.5 which is expected to be the next super long LTS kernel so for routeros we probably have to wait for the next super long LTS which include WG and that would probably be like 5.13-14 in 2 years And even after that it will probably take a while for mikrotik to adopt the new LTS kernel, they just adopted 4.14 which is already 2 years old so looking back it could be at least 2+2 years before we even see a WG kernel in routeros. If mikrotik don’t decide to use the compat WG instead which could run on legacy kernels. I have no idea what the backside is of doing that instead of using a kernel with built in WG support…
If I understand it correctly, “compat” version of WG are simply backports to older kernels, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Call me an optimist, but if WG continues to get popular, and if other things with RouterOS 7 go well, I believe that we can see WG in RouterOS before Christmas (yes, this year, but no, I probably wouldn’t bet on it, my optimism has some limits ).
The compat version (https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux-compat/) is the same as what goes into Linux 5.6, it’s just the out-of-tree repository.
+1 for WireGuard.
Other routers are beginning to deliver…
I don’t want to switch supplier.
/joda
Hopefully ROS7 will include Wireguard within this year.
it would be a dream because now i have a routerboard+raspberry(wireguard) for every single sites of my fullmesh vpn
+1 for WireGuard.
Yes absolutely !!!
Dream along with me I am on the way to the STARS
I’m in.
+1 for WireGuard.
+1. I also do have additional SBC next to Mikrotik router just for Wireguard VPN server.
+1 for Wireguard https://www.wireguard.com/
MikroTik don’t ignore us…
Keenetic allready have support WireGuard

+1. The versatility that comes with wireguard, especially with roaming connections (i.e. swapping back and forth between mobile and wireless) is extremely useful, as well as the increased throughput provided by wireguard. It would be perfect to roll this in with rOS vs. having a separate appliance just to provide this functionality.
Linus just pulled the net-next branch from David Miller, thus Wireguard is now upstream:
Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
I really would like to have Wireguard Support in V7.
+1 for wireguard, the performance can’t be denied.
+1 for WireGuard.
I believe this is a must going forward for RouterOS 7 its is become a major player in the VPN space
Just bought another brand because Mikrotik is missing this feature.

It would be more than great if we get only one tcp or udp vpn that using certs for encryption, service port could be changed and have windows client (may be third-party).
