summary
WireGuard is a low‑level, kernel‑integrated VPN protocol that claims near‑native latency and modern asymmetric crypto, and is already built into the Linux kernel (merged 2020). The demo wires two servers (New York ↔ Sydney) into 10.100.0.0/24, boots a Docker HTTP service and shows connectivity even with a misconfigured port, proving resilience in practice two‑server demo with 10.100.0.2 and working despite misconfiguration. Scaling and ops require orchestration; Netmaker control plane automates key exchange, discovery and access policies.
