Wireguard

Post by dropframe » Mon Jul 04, 2022 7:02 pm

I deleted and reinstalled Surfshark on my windows 64 computer.
Ran it and selected a location.

Now it appears Surfshark WireGuard is running.

It shows SurfsharkWireGuard Public Network between my computer and the internet.
A network connection has been added;
SurfsharkWireGuard Wireguard Tunnel.
Both my wireless Wi-Fi Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter and this connection are active.
All others including;
NETGEAR-VPN TAP-Windows Adapter V9 and
Ethernet 2 TAP-Surfshark Windows Adapter V9 and
OpenVPN WinTun Wintun Userspace Tunnel and
Ethernet Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
are there but have a red X.

I'm a newbie so be gentle.
Do I want WireGuard?
How do I get rid of it?

Looks like Surfshark has added WireGuard under protocols. You can pick UDP, TCP, Wireguard or select automatic and let Surfshark decide. Surfshark suggests "automatic" is the best choice. But they say Wireguard is better than the other two. They just added it so some of the tutorials don't have it yet.
