Originally created by @L0sWach0s on GitHub (Mar 31, 2025).

Description

My VPS provider does not offer WireGuard in the kernel (see provider documentation), so I need to use BoringTun as an alternative.

Requested Enhancement

Is it possible to adapt the installation script to support BoringTun as a WireGuard replacement? This would allow the software to work on VPS platforms that don't support WireGuard at the kernel level.

Environment

  • VPS Provider: Ethernet Servers
  • Current limitation: No WireGuard kernel support, Kernel: Linux version 5.2.0 (mockbuild@builder5.eng.sw.ru) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC) ) SMP Mon Sep 30 15:36:27 MSK 2024
  • Proposed solution: BoringTun integration

Additional Information

BoringTun is a userspace WireGuard implementation written in Rust that can function without kernel module support. Adding this as an installation option would improve compatibility across more hosting providers.

Hello!

Thank you for the suggestion!

This is a good idea but I think we would tackle it using the same Go Wireguard user space implementation as Newt uses. I am going to close this for now as not planned but you could open a new discussion about a Go user space implementation if you would like!
