Basically what we must do is configure an interface with its own public and private key, and then use the public key in the different peers that want to connect, and these peers must have their public key in the list of allowed keys on the server. The VPN connection is possible thanks to the exchange of public keys between remote sites, all packets are encapsulated in UDP in a fully encrypted way. Other features are that it is compatible with IPv4 and IPv6 networks without problems, its architecture is based on peer-to-peer. A very important detail that hardware encryption acceleration will not be available at the moment, however, where WireGuard shines most compared to IPsec or OpenVPN is that on hardware that does not have hardware encryption acceleration it behaves really well. Of course, it does not support IPsec or OpenVPN, it is a completely different VPN protocol. Unlike IPsec or OpenVPN where we have a large number of cryptographic protocols available, in this VPN we only have a suite of ciphers that have been carefully chosen to have the best security and speed. We must keep in mind that WireGuard is a VPN very modern and easy to set upthe main feature of this VPN is the security it provides and the download and upload speed, this new protocol allows us to achieve high transfer rates in the VPN tunnel and is much more efficient than IPsec. Right now only the following routers are compatible with firmware version FRITZ!OS 7.39 that support this VPN service: By updating to this new version, we will be able to use this fast and secure VPN to remotely connect to our local home network.

If you have one of the aforementioned routers, you will have to manually install the latest FRITZ!OS 7.39 firmware, which is currently in the testing phase. Since last week we have available in your FRITZ!Lab, the beta firmware laboratory of the manufacturer AVM, a new version of firmware for your FRITZ!Box 7590 AX, FRITZ!Box 7590 routers and also the FRITZ!Box 7530 that incorporates the popular VPN WireGuard, much faster than the current IPsec that it incorporates. The manufacturer AVM is one of the most updated WiFi routers of all ranges, the popular German manufacturer is not only responsible for improving what the firmware already has, but also incorporates really interesting new features.
