So I just noticed that Surfshark now has the Wireguard protocol. When was it rolled out?
What is Wireguard?
Wireguard is a promising open-source protocol that the Linux kernel already uses as a module but has been adapted to work on popular platforms, such as the abovementioned ones. It’s published under the GPLv2 license.
It aims to offer greater speed, more performance, and lower power consumption than its OpenVPN and IPsec analogs.
Wireguard comprises a lightweight code that can be audited quickly and easily. Furthermore, it can keep your data safe by encrypting it with modern, thoroughly-tested cryptographic primitives and protocols.
Surfshark now supports Wireguard on multiple platforms
It’s currently unclear which came first, or the exact time Wireguard rolled out on each platform, but one thing’s certain. It’s here for the long haul and shows a lot of promise in terms of speed, flexibility, and security.
What we do know is that Surfshark now offers Wireguard as a protocol of choice on multiple platforms. Namely:
- Windows
- macOS
- Android
- iOS
More so, it would appear that Android and iOS users who would leave their protocol settings on Automatic may be switched to Wireguard, by default.
Surfshark to release a Wireguard safety article
As far as Surfshark’s implementation of Wireguard goes, reportedly an official article regarding the safety of this new protocol is in the works.
On the downside, no ETA was announced, but we can expect it to be posted sooner, rather than later.
