Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
This article presents a hardware implementation of the WireGuard VPN protocol using an Artix7 FPGA with an open-source toolchain. The project aims to provide full-throttle, wire-speed VPN performance while maintaining complete transparency in the codebase for security scrutiny. The implementation addresses the limitations of traditional VPN solutions like OpenVPN and IPSec by leveraging WireGuard's modern, secure data tunneling and encryption methods in a hardware-accelerated environment.

If you seek security and privacy, nothing is private in our codebase. Our door is wide open for backdoor scrutiny, be it related to RTL, embedded, build, bitstream or any other aspect of design and delivery package.
Wireguard is increasingly coming to the forefront as a modern, secure data tunneling and encryption method, one that's also easier to manage than the incumbents.
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are the central and indispensable component of Internet security.
