That&amp;#x27;s arguably a lot more important that what protocol it uses, and is not something you could easily DIY.</text></comment>

There’s real value in wrapping a system like WireGuard into a product, because it democratizes technology rather than making it available only to those knowledgable enough to understand how to set it up. I think Warp is great in that regard.&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;trailofbits&amp;#x2F;algo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;trailofbits&amp;#x2F;algo&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
