Yes, it would be a secure second layer for administrative access across untrusted networks.Yes, it would allow XCP-ng pools to communicate securely over the public internet.Yes, because WireGuard is not easily detectable by port scanners, it allows for more trustless network layouts and reduces attack surface.As pointed out above, it could be a simpler and more modern alternative to XCP-ng's IPsec-based tunnels.Р”Р„ccessing publicly exposed hosts without leaving SSH active for public IPs or exposing mgmt interface.Use casesР”В¬an you tell more about the use cases you have in mind? Looking at an other Xen Dom0 kernel (QubesOS), that used to implement wireguard-compat (until 5.6), it should not cause any other trouble than occasionally changing version numbers. Having built the kernel-alt just once for the most recent version, I am not sure how many obstacles are coming with new wireguard-compat releases. Of course Troubleshooting could add cost. In case there are no critical vulnerabilities it looks totally sufficient to me to apply changes whenever a new kernel is about to released. This almost fits in the release frequency of XCP-ng's kernel. Wireguard-compat is released approximately once a month containing mostly minor changes. Of course we may look into how this process can be integrated into the kernel's repository in the least troublesome manner. Of course relying on automated scripts like jury-rig.sh or create-patch.sh can make the process fairly simple.

There is either create-patch.sh which automatically generates a patch file for a given source tree or jury-rig.sh РІР‚вЂњ which I used in my test РІР‚вЂњ that writes all changes directly into the kernel source tree. The wireguard-compat repository offers some very useful scripts that make it fairly simple to add WireGuard to the kernel tree. The cost of maintenance mostly depends on how easy it is and how often those changes have to be applied. WireGuard has gotten adopted very fast and even lot of Unix-like distributions/ projects patched their older kernel branches to implement WireGuard where necessary XCP-ng's Dom0 could communicate with those through a fairly secure, simple and fast channel,.Talking about the Future: The Pre-Shared-Key mode promises post-quantum resistance,.Because WireGuard implements it's own simple protocol and not a ton of different cipher suites, compatibility across different hosts may be better to achieve over a longer period of time,.

The WireGuard network interface allows simpler mesh routing than currently used,.

The protocol was verified to have: correctness, message secrecy, forward secrecy, mutual authentication, key-compromise impersonation resistance, unknown key-share attack resistance and replay resistance of the first protocol message,.

The protocol is much easier to set up correctly, compared to the currently used IPsec-based security,.

Higher throughput and lower latency than IPsec, which XCP-ng currently uses for GRE/ VxLAN security,.

I tried to keep my first message short, but here are some advantages that we might want to look at:
