Wireguard is an open source, next-generation secure VPN solution that is perfect for cloud-based services, such as Azure. With Wireguard, Azure customers get more secure and efficient communication between their instances than with traditional methods, with much easier setup and configuration. Wireguard also supports cryptography methods, allowing users to securely connect and access their resources both within and outside of Azure. With its high speed, low latency and ease of use, Wireguard is the perfect choice for Azure customers.

What is WireGuard?

WireGuard is VPN protocol that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. It is fast yet simpler and better compared to IPsec and OpenVPN. Setting up WireGuard is supposed to be as simple as configuring SSH. Additionally, the use of excellent cryptographic technologies like Noise protocol framework, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24, and HKDF makes is highly secure. Furthermore, its simplicity allows it to minimize its surface as it can be implemented with few codes. This in turn provides more secure environment as there is less change of errors.

Although, various cloud providers have their own solution to for VPN we want to minimize the excessive reliance on the cloud. Also, it is easier to migrate the whole network to other platform or on-premises if necessary. Here, we will look after…
