wireguard what do you guys tinc?

[Ivo Smits]

Contrary to most traditional in-kernel VPN or tunneling solutions, 
wireguard uses the UDP protocol. This should make it possible to 
implement the same protocol in userspace on any system that can handle 
UDP sockets - including Windows. It might be slower, but it should be 
able to talk to to the kernel implementation.

Wireguard currently does not support ethernet-layer tunneling, only 
IP(v4 and v6) packets can be tunneled. I think this is unfortunate, 
because I have some scenarios where I'd like to bridge entire ethernet 
segments or use another routing mechanism like BGP.
