"WireGuard^® is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that
utilizes *state-of-the-art cryptography
<https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/>*. It aims to be faster
<https://www.wireguard.com/performance/>, simpler
<https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/>, leaner, and more useful than
IPSec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be
considerably more performant than OpenVPN."

Be very, VERY careful about cryptography that hasn't been extensively
verified by experts.  Even ones that have still have flaws discovered
occasionally.
