Fortigate - Wireguard Support

Hi,

 

I did a less-than-thorough search on the web, but was wondering if Fortinet has plans to integrate Wireguard VPN in their Fortigates?  We've all had some sports with IPSEC tunnels that drop and never come back - might be time to embrace the future. :) 

 

Thanks!

    wireguard is fantastic

     

    Implement it (also in beta ) can provide a big advantage on competitors.

    it is the future: faster , secure , simple...

    Agreed.  The level of consensus among network professionals that Wireguard is becoming *the* VPN protocol of choice is nothing short of breathtaking.   Support for Wireguard is already becoming part of our decision-making process when choosing equipment for a build.

     

    Mikrotik and pfSense are already there, by the way.

     

    Please integrate Wireguard into Fortinet products immediately.

    AGREED Mikrotik, pfsense, openwrt, opnsense already support it

    Additional Request 1. bigger RAM, as low end model such as 61F will got Conserve Mode when many feature on 2. USB-C for console port since USB-A cable more expensive than USB-C cable PA CP, Cisco has USB-C console port. Why not Forti follow the same trend

    Hi Fortigate? Any progress to adopt to new VPN protocols? I would recommend to adopt before the company got hit by the "legacy" train (as it happened for Aqfa long time ago). Don't miss the train and run your company as any other proprietary company producing closed source. Time has changed and even an grey-bearded management should understand that. Beet you competitors with performance instead of supported legacy VPN tunnel technology.

    Continuing to wait and hope for this to be implemented so we don't have to implement this superior solution independently from our fortigates.

    Not using FortiGate's site-to-site VPN as it is too complicated and might not always work perfectly as expected, like the rest of everything else. Using a simple DD-WRT router to do WireGuard and it works perfectly, reconnects every time when there's a drop. And I've seen it drop only when the line goes out.
