Rust library providing a unified high-level API for managing WireGuard interfaces across kernel and userspace implementations.
defguard_wireguard_rs is a multi-platform Rust library that provides a unified high-level API for managing WireGuard interfaces. It allows developers to build their own WireGuard VPN servers or clients by supporting both native OS kernel and userspace WireGuard protocol implementations across different operating systems.
Developers building custom WireGuard VPN servers, clients, or networking tools in Rust who need cross-platform compatibility and a high-level management API.
Developers choose this library for its consistent, high-level interface that abstracts away platform-specific differences in WireGuard implementations, simplifying VPN development across Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Windows.

Unifies WireGuard management across Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Windows, handling both kernel and userspace implementations through a single high-level API, as stated in the README.
Provides capabilities for configuring complex routing rules for WireGuard peers, detailed in the WGApi documentation, enabling fine-grained network control.
Allows programmatic setting of DNS resolver settings via the API, essential for VPN clients to manage network configurations seamlessly.
Includes handling for fwmark, enabling better traffic management and policy routing for WireGuard interfaces, as highlighted in the unique features.
Requires specific Rust toolchains, MSYS2 installation, and manual DLL placement for WireGuard-NT, making development on Windows more complex than on other platforms.
Key documentation is hosted on an external GitBook site, which may be less integrated and harder to navigate compared to inline or GitHub-hosted docs.
Primarily developed for the defguard platform, which might lead to features or updates focused on that use case rather than general-purpose flexibility.
