WireGuard

WireGuard (in kernel mainline source tree since 5.6)

WireGuard is a layer 3 secure networking tunnel made specifically for the kernel, that aims to be much simpler and easier to audit than IPsec.

Implemented as a simple network device driver, accessible in the usual RTNL way used by virtual network drivers.
