That won't happen until they make a secure, stable, and audited release. See https://forum.netgate.com/topic/132375/installing-wireguard-vpn/5

They have made a secure and audited release.
We'd prefer to use pfSense but are using OpenWRT for wireguard support.

#4 Updated by Soren Stoutner 4 months ago

For those who might not be following it, WireGuard is going to be integrated into the Linux kernel 5.6 release, which means both that it is at a point where it is considered ready for general consumption and that use of WireGuard is likely to become much more common in the next couple of years.

We are fully aware. It's good news for them, but that does not mean much of anything for its implementation or stability on FreeBSD (yet).

#6 Updated by Ter Ted 4 months ago

Thats sad, I really hope WireGuard could be implemented in pfSense as soon as possible. The performance and security advantage over OpenVPN/Strongswan is huge. Strongswan had a lot of vulnerabilities, the implementation is way to complex. Could the priority of this issue be raised?

PLEASE add WireGuard support! Thank you.

#8 Updated by Guy Godfroy 2 months ago

Now that wireguard is officially linux upstream, which is a proof of trust to a certain level, you may want to reconsider your decision. I know Wireguard is still considered WIP, but it takes a lots of trust to be merged in the linux kernel.

See note 5 on this issue: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8786#note-5

Linux is not FreeBSD.
