IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 195 releasedFinally, it is here! WireGuard in IPFire. IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 195 adds the long-awaited native support for WireGuard as well as a couple of further improvements and bug and security fixes.
WireGuard Is HereThis release introduces support for WireGuard, a modern VPN protocol designed for simplicity and performance. IPFire now includes a fully integrated interface to configure and manage WireGuard tunnels through the web user interface. WireGuard can be used for both net-to-net and host-to-net (Roadwarrior) VPN connections and is a lightweight alternative to IPsec and OpenVPN. Configuration is straightforward, and the IPFire implementation includes:
- Full integration into the firewall GUI
- Support for multiple peers with individual settings
- QR code display for easy mobile client configuration and configuration file export
- Connection importer for interoperability with other vendors and VPN providers
- Full support for the Intrusion Prevention System and Connection Tracking
WireGuard can be enabled alongside existing VPN services and is intended to offer another option for users who prefer its design and simplicity. Documentation is available with details on setup and usage.
