WireGuard, a high performance and easily configured VPN protocol, is getting a native port from Linux to the Windows kernel, and the code has been published as experimental work in progress.

A WireGuard implementation for Windows already exists and can be found here, based on what Jason A Donenfeld, the creator of WireGuard, called "a generic TUN driver we developed called Wintun" and a cross-platform Go codebase called wireguard-go.

This current implementation "Lives in userspace, and shepherds packets to and from the Wintun interface," Donenfeld said.

The goal with the new implementation, called WireGuardNT, is that the whole protocol implementation will be in the Windows networking stack, "In the same way that it's done currently on Linux, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD.".
