This Monday, WireGuard founder and lead developer Jason Donefeld announced a new WireGuard release for the Windows platform. The release is something of a godsend for administrators hoping to implement WireGuard as a replacement for more traditional end-user VPNs in a business environment, adding several new features that will make their lives easier—or simply make its implementation possible, in environments where it otherwise would not.

Installation

Existing WireGuard users will be prompted with obvious UI hints to download and install the new version, directly from within the application itself.
