		palunon on Nov 7, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: WireGuard for iOS At lot of Linux VPN creates network interfaces (tap/tun), and support namespacing them - you can do the same thing with OpenVPN . The really nice thing is the full in-kernel implementation, and the lack of configurability.

Right, sorry. I was comparing it to the shadow-socks project GP was referring to. (And the userspace WireGuard implementation uses TUN/TAP. In fact one of the rootless containers subprojects I've worked on is using TAP to allow for unprivileged network bridge emulation for rootless containers.)
