    We've been using Wireguard with all our mobile devices (smartphones, Chromebooks) for a few months now. It's on 24/7, even when we're home. It works great. Does anyone have any insight into why it hasn't made it upstream yet?

        The last time Jason Donenfeld, the creator of Wireguard, posted a patch set was in October of 2018. There's no hope of it going upstream until a revised patch set is posted, and I'm not really sure why it has taken him more than 4 months to do it.

          There have been multiple patch sets posted. The last was just yesterday, reported here.

            It is honestly not surprising to see it taking a while. Going by this article they seem to be not caring too much about how the code is written, but how it is integrating. As it is also a lot of interest around this feature they probably want to make sure they get it right first time around.

              No I'm talking about on the linux kernel development mailing list. What you linked is not that.

                Would really not recommend wireguard as I have used it with Ubuntu and CentOS. Rater prefer Ivacy for Linux.
