[ANNOUNCE] Alpha Snapshots of WireGuard for Android and macOS

Hey folks, We're gradually adding more platforms capable of running WireGuard, thanks to some still-buggy userspace code Mathias and I have been developing. Today you can try WireGuard on two new platforms: Android and macOS. [NEW] WireGuard for Android --------------------------- You can download the app from the Play Store or from F-Droid. It supports adding wg-quick(8)-style .conf files or .zips of them. The app uses the kernel module if available, which gives the best performance, stability, and battery life, and falls back to the userspace code if it's not available. Download at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wireguard.android [NEW] WireGuard for macOS ------------------------- You can install wg-quick, wg, and wireguard-go using Homebrew. Then you should be able to run `wg-quick up whatever` and familiar commands as you're used to. If you're setting up a network manually, you can run `wireguard-go utun3` in place of the usual Linux command `ip link add utun3 dev wireguard`. Install with the Homebrew command: $ brew install wireguard-tools [FUTURE] WireGuard for ${YOUR_FAVORITE_PLATFORM} ------------------------------------------------ It's a work in progress, and we hope to have nice things to announce in the coming weeks. If you're interested in helping to develop support for a particular platform, please send us an email at team at wireguard.com. [WORKHORSE] WireGuard for Linux ------------------------------- The Linux kernel implementation remains the recommended and most complete WireGuard implementation, and we're actively working on upstreaming this code to kernel.org. Install instructions are available for every major distro on: https://www.wireguard.com/install/ [DISCLAIMER] Alpha Warning for Security-related Software -------------------------------------------------------- The new implementations for macOS and Android are alpha quality, at best, so keep expectations low. There are bugs. There may even be security issues, and we don't yet certify that this software does what we want it to do. Let us know as you encounter the inevitable nasty bugs. Consider this as "pre-release" software. Enjoy! Jason
