I like Algo a lot, but find it approximately as hard to recommend an IPSEC head-end to a sensitive network as I do recommending OpenVPN, and OpenVPN has better clients. Algo makes sense to me as the kind of VPN I set up to run traffic through when I travel, but not for protecting networks.

I'm not convinced that the problem of replacing VPN protocols is so difficult that we should get comfortable with IPSEC. We're really just an OSX client away from WireGuard in the mainstream. And unlike IPSEC vs. OpenVPN, WG is clearly better than the alternative.




I'll add WireGuard when it gets better client support. I'm not tied to IPSEC.

The core values of Algo are making self-hosting and initial setup easy and reliable.
