Not particularly pleased about the decision when OpenVPN is the most supported protocol.
Meanwhile their competitor IVPN even does IPsec.

Mullvad has stated years ago that “WireGuard is the future” because it supports different cryptographic primitives that they prefer to what OpenVPN supports, it uses less lines of code which makes implementations less prone to errors, and it has a different architecture that reduces the risk from certain kinds of cryptographic attacks.
At least, that’s what they claimed back in 2017. It seems they still believe that WireGuard is better than OpenVPN now, but I don’t know if they have any more reasoning beyond what they wrote about in 2017 as to why.
Thank you for the reply!
