Contrary to most traditional in-kernel VPN or tunneling solutions,
wireguard uses the UDP protocol. This should make it possible to
implement the same protocol in userspace on any system that can handle
UDP sockets - including Windows. It might be slower, but it should be
able to talk to to the kernel implementation.
Wireguard currently does not support ethernet-layer tunneling, only
IP(v4 and v6) packets can be tunneled. I think this is unfortunate,
because I have some scenarios where I'd like to bridge entire ethernet
segments or use another routing mechanism like BGP.

Well if it's kernel only, that rules out anything not Linux, at lest
at the moment. I know that may have a big share, but I find that
limit.
I understand it being in the kernel is attractive because it's much
faster, but how many things do we want to trust in running in the
kernel? Does a faster VPN really mean much these days?
