I have been using the Wireguard support in the beta release for most of this past year. Having a persistent connection from my Android phone and my wife's iPhone was simple with the built-in Mikrotik DDNS service. It makes checking on things like security cameras nice if you do not want to use a cloud service.

Yep! I’ve been using the beta and it’s awesome. What other vendors include native WG support? Historically the concept of a performant VPN router pushed you into the realm of enterprise level expensive hardware. Now you can do it on cheap arm cores. It’s game changing.

I used to want Wireguard on my router. It was in fact one of the reasons why I went with an EdgeRouter X.

Then one day, when I was away from home and actually needed the VPN, it absolutely melted. Basically everything on the router stopped working, and I suspect it was Wireguard since the router went haywire when I was actually using it extensively. Needed a hard power cycle, which I couldn't actually do.

These days I just leave my router to do its basic duties and have a Raspberry Pi dedicated to nothing but Wireguard. Haven't had issues since. The Pi 2 Model B also performs better for Wireguard and I imagine that the Pi 4 could saturate my 100 Mb/s upload.

Yes, exactly!!

Wireguard is a must for us now! I've been using professionally on MikroTik, too, almost everything worked as expected!

(only some issue with being able to export settings... I hope it's solved now)

hopefully it's better than their IPSec support

I love my mikrotik devices, but they can be a bit iffy around the edges

(e.g. if my pppoe connection reconnects the ipsec stops working until the interface is bounced)
