WireGuard

Currently switched from Auto to using the Official WireGuard port - UDP. Getting fabulous speeds. What are the disadvantages of this protocol?

Edit --- Just switched it back to Auto and speed is just about the same. Don't know how to delete this post. Anyway, generally Auto is suggested vs explicitly selecting WireGuard?

wireguard is UDP only i believe  so the auto is just choosing UDP

Hello!

Very glad to know it. Eddie 2.23 and older versions "Automatic" mode is OpenVPN in UDP, always. Eddie 2.24 and newer versions select what the manifest tells (currently WireGuard). WireGuard offers higher performance and efficiency, and a few privacy issues which are mitigated in our system. Please see here for an overview:
