Feature Request: Wireguard
Completed
Request the consideration of wireguard to be added to VPN options. Wireguard is far more performant and light weight on small IoT devices. Would work with Streisand to provide a complete cloud based VPN solution for privacy and security. It is extremely easy to implement.

Sorry, the blue and red are really tight on memory. We have seen a bit more "no memory" reboots after the 1.972 release, so unlikely we will be adding any features that may increase memory usage.
As of the purple, it is highly possible we will do an early beta, or maybe even release the units in smaller chunks, that may allow us to deliver as early as October or early November. Watch out for beta requests.

Ah, I understand about the memory thing. I thought WireGuard was supposed to be lighter on resources, my mistake.
On the topic of reboots / restarts (sorry for hijacking the thread): I get a notification when the Firewalla service awakens, but see no log off it in my alarms. It'd be nice to see.
Good (potential) news about the Purple. I'm keeping my eyes open for any updates. 👍

The problem is not WireGuard ... WireGuard is fairly light.
The issue is the rest of the system. Firewalla resource allocation is per network. For example, on the blue today, you have the main network and an OpenVPN network; and adding a WireGuard network ... will increase the resource usage due to a new network that will need to be tracked. (These resources are primarily cache and data structures to track flows and break/assemble traffic)
Due to how the software was designed, it is also really difficult to remove OpenVPN and only run WireGuard ...
