[ANNOUNCE] WireGuard Merged Into OpenBSD

[ANNOUNCE] WireGuard Merged Into OpenBSD

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Hey everyone,

I'm happy to announce that WireGuard has been merged into the OpenBSD
kernel, with integration into userland as well.

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=159274150512676&w=2

Matt Dunwoodie and I have been working on this for quite some time
now, with at some point Matt even showing up at my door in Paris to
push the effort further. This marks the culmination of quite a bit of
effort, and certainly a multi-year project for Matt. I should also
note that the upstreaming process to OpenBSD was extremely pleasant.
We did three patch revisions, with useful feedback on each one and a
very supportive community.

I imagine that this work will ship with OpenBSD 6.8.

Enjoy!
Jason

Jason and Matt - outstanding, outstanding job. I've comfortably ran 
Wireguard on OpenBSD with Jason's first build script for roughly 1 1/2 
years, but I'm happy to see Wireguard is now in-kernel and development 
will continue there.

Thank you two for all of your efforts you've made.
I hope everyone else is as excited about this as I am!

very impressive work by Matt and you! I'm very glad to see this was
merged and can only imagine a bright future for WireGuard.

With best regards
