Key features in this release include improved WireGuard support. WireGuard, the modern VPN tunneling protocol, has seen rapid adoption due to its small codebase and high performance. While previous versions supported it via packages or experimental toggles, 2.8.0 integrates it more deeply into the core system, making it a viable first-class citizen alongside OpenVPN and IPsec. This allows administrators to set up secure remote access with significantly less overhead, a critical feature in the era of remote work.
