 Here are some rough benchmarks that illustrate the performance differences:

 ===== Introduction =====
-Wireguard's exceptional performance is possible because the code is executed within kernel-space. Other technologies, such as OpenVPN, PPTP, or tinc run in user-space which is much slower. Wireguard still uses asymmetric-key technology (similar to OpenVPN) that is more basic in functionality. However, a lot of development is going on right now, and improvements in encryption keys are expected soon.

However, there is a lot of ongoing development, and improvements in encryption keys are expected soon.
-Wireguard is not a "talkative" protocol. It tends to send data only when needed (unless a peer is defined with a forced keepalive option). One new approach taken with Wireguard was to completely remove handshaking. Now, data is accepted only if the decryption key works. This makes Wireguard less "chatty", simpler and faster). Wireguard communicates by default over UDP port 51820.

 Before configuring Wireguard, you should consult the official documentation's [[https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/|Quick Start]] guide, and possibly the [[https://github.com/pirate/wireguard-docs|unofficial]] version as well.
