> @ptacek (or anyone else working on this space) how much would it cost to vet wireguard for security holes?

You may be interested in @ptacek's response on this matter a while back[1].

Off-topic from that thread:

"(...) we're hosting the dude who wrote the Wireguard go implementation this summer (hey Mathias)"

Which pointed me at:

https://www.wireguard.com/xplatform/

I didn't realize there were some real efforts underway for cross platform support - that makes wg much more interesting (for my use-cases). Good to know! (I can live with higher performance linux-linux than linux-windows, mac-linux, linux-bsd etc; but forcing the need for a Linux "vpn router" as a vm or physical box is a tough sell. Not to mention a need for a real client for smart phones, though I suppose it should be possible to run wg on a rooted/custom rom Android phone, it'd be nice to have regular Android and ios clients).
