Well, it seems FreeBSD/pfSense people are not very happy with it. At least the benchmark results seems questionable. Read jwt's comment at the bottom: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/132375/installing-wireguard-...

The comment in question only talks about theoretical top speeds and he doesn't actually do any benchmarking. I'd like to see some actual tests before they write it off.

He does the math to prove that when you subtract all the mandatory protocol and frame headers you end up with practical maximum of 949.28 Mbps on 1 Gbps line. Providing charts with 1011 Mbps in favor of WireGuard makes all the comparison at least dubious. Another thing he mentioned is the test compares ChaCha20 cipher with AES256-GCM which is totally unfair. Why would you invest so much in perfect code then to fake the benchmarks?
