Yes, as an everyday user of OpenVPN for years, I find the above "death chants" extremely off-putting and amateurish. It implies the author of the post has little elementary common sense to resist not to foul-mouth existing projects that are serving a useful purpose.

Speaking of WireGuard ... FWIW, we made a QEMU Advent Calendar[1] disk image[2] for it in 2016 December. Check that out if you want to give it a spin in a virtual machine.

Reading this thread reminds me to give it a try again now.

(I recall listening to the Wireguard talk at FOSDEM 2017, and a long-time Linux kernel developer, who works on memory management, was sitting next to me and remarked that he was not convinced of some details -- but unfortunately I don't remember the technical reason he mentioned as to why he thought so. Sorry :-( )

Hm, guess the down votes are for the useless remark in brackets at the end, which I already hesitated before hitting "reply"; was genuinely trying to recall. (And probably for the chiding of the post author in the first paragraph.)

Live and learn.
