Popular VPN Hops on the WireGuard Train

VyprVPN is the latest VPN provider to add WireGuard to its Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows apps with the release of the VyprVPN 4.0 beta. WireGuard is a new VPN protocol, created by Edge Security founder Jason A. Donenfeld, that uses advanced cryptography to provide users with the highest level of privacy, security, and speed. VyprVPN is so excited about this new protocol that the company believes it will "eventually become the default protocol for all users." Another advantage of WireGuard over existing VPN protocols is that it contains much less code than OpenVPN or IPSec. While OpenVPN is made up of 100,000 lines of code, WireGuard only has 4,000 lines of code, making it much easier for security experts to review and verify vulnerabilities.

In a blog post, VyprVPN product manager Tucker Stern explained that mobile users will see an increase in performance and battery life when using WireGuard, saying, "Mobile users, in particular, should experience an improvement noticeable as soon as they connect! Speaking of which, you don't have to drop your connection when you switch networks to or from mobile, so you're always connected and secure." Adding WireGuard to VyprVPN means users will be able to connect faster than ever before and enjoy faster download and upload speeds. All of the company's global servers also support the new protocol, so users always have a completely private connection, and VyprVPN's publicly audited no-logging policy provides an added level of protection. Since WireGuard is open source, the VPN developer community will continually improve the protocol, and according to Stern, the VyprVPN development team is also ready to respond quickly to WireGuard updates so its users can continue to benefit from the latest. progress.
