How does it compare to Tunnelblick and Viscosity? Any reason to switch if I'm using a paid subscription to a mainstream VPN provider?

View on HN

Tunnelblick and Viscosity are _implementations_ of a protocol: OpenVPN. Wireguard is a different protocol than OpenVPN. Not just a different implementation of the same.

True, but all 3 are a frontend (Tunnelblick/Viscosity for OpenVPN and WireGuard for macOS is a frontend for the Go implementation). You could argue someone's asking for a comparison of the UIs.

FWIW, I've tested the UI, and I very much like it, except that the whole public and private key are visible on the screen. The Android version only shows it partly (could be my resolution).
