You could totally do that! See https://github.com/pojntfx/weron#8-write-your-own-protocol-w..., but I agree with saurik - if DTLS is secure enough for your usecase, that would just add overhead ...

Yep, that's a good point. I jumped into the code (I just wanted to see what the encryption transform was) and should have zoomed out and looked more carefully at the whole design. Thanks!

That seems like it would offer no advantages, but would result in all of worse performance, smaller remaining available packet size, and "more code".

that is indeed a performance decrease. But the idea of this project is just great!

There is another way of combining WebRTC and Wireguard.

Netbird uses ICE protocol (used in WebRTC) for NAT traversal and then reuses that punched holes to establish a direct Wireguard tunnel.

P.S. I'm author of Netbird (formerly know as Wiretrustee)

So that's what, 4 layers of encapsulation now? Yikes.

Coders gonna code.
