WireGuard is a communication protocol and free and open-source software that implements encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs). [5] It aims to be lighter and better performing than IPsec and OpenVPN , two common tunneling protocols . [ 6 ]
For countries with low internet censorship, Amnezia supports WireGuard and OpenVPN. In 2022, Amnezia VPN successfully passed the security audit conducted by 7ASecurity . Amnezia published free access to not only the source codes of the client part, but also the source codes of the server part.
In computer networking, Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a form of virtual private network (VPN) tunnel that provides a mechanism to transport Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) traffic through an SSL/TLS channel.
Mullvad was launched in March of 2009 by Amagicom AB, [6] and it had begun by supporting connections via the OpenVPN protocol in 2009. [7] Mullvad was an early adopter and supporter of the WireGuard protocol, announcing the availability of the new VPN protocol in March 2017 [8] and making a "generous donation" supporting WireGuard development between July and December 2017.
OpenConnect is available on Solaris, Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, MacOS, and has graphical user interface clients for Windows, [14] GNOME, [15] and KDE. [16] A graphical client for OpenConnect is also available for Android devices, [17] and it has been integrated into router firmware packages such as OpenWrt.
Though both are for tunneling purposes, TUN and TAP cannot be used together because they transmit and receive packets at different layers of the network stack. TUN, namely network TUNnel, simulates a network layer device and operates in layer 3 carrying IP packets.
In computer networks, a tunneling protocol is a communication protocol which allows for the movement of data from one network to another. They can, for example, allow private network communications to be sent across a public network (such as the Internet), or for one network protocol to be carried over an incompatible network, through a process called encapsulation.
