[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 906316, member: 88686"] Lightway is fascinating and yet another fork of WireGuard but written in a different language than Go. -Even less code than WireGuard-Go -Unlike WireGuard it supports hardware accelerated AES -Yes it supports post-quantum encryption -Instant connection -More privacy Some misleading marketing here though. Almost every VPN had to create their own version of WireGuard. Cloudflare wrote boringtun, NordVPN wrote NordLynx, Windscribe uses boringtun + big privacy enhancements + rotating pre-shared keys. The biggest thing Lightway did and it's the reason for its speed is that it combines the speed of WireGuard with AES hardware acceleration. The original WireGuard team did not want to implement AES because they are too tinfoil because of sidechannel attacks and a rumor that the NSA already broke AES. [/QUOTE]
