After many months of hard work, Roopesh, Eric, and I are pleased to 
announce an initial version of WireGuard for macOS: 
 
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wireguard/id1451685025?ls=1&amp;mt=12" \
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wireguard/id1451685025?ls=1&amp;mt=12</a> 
 
This is built from the same code base as our existing iOS app and 
makes use of Apple&#39;s Network Extension API to provide native 
integration into the operating system&#39;s networking stack. The 
application lives in the status bar, and after importing a 
configuration, the ordinary System Preferences networking item may 
also be used to control each tunnel. Because it uses these deep 
integration APIs, we&#39;re only allowed to distribute the application 
using the macOS App Store (whose rejections, appeals, and eventual 
acceptance made for quite the stressful saga over the last week and a 
half). Compared to the current CLI integration, we expect the 
WireGuard experience using this app to be excellent. 
 
For curious folks without a Mac (or without the patience to cajole KVM 
into booting macOS), I&#39;ve assembled a few screenshots:

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://data.zx2c4.com/wireguard-for-macos-screenshots-february-2019/</a> 
 
This is new software, and there will certainly be problems. Don&#39;t 
hesitate to email <a href="mailto:team@wireguard.com" \
target="_blank">team@wireguard.com</a> directly with bugs as you encounter \
them. 
Enjoy!

PS: Because people will inevitably ask: yes, a Windows client is on 
its way, and it will have a very similar interface to this macOS one. 
We&#39;re taking the long and careful route, writing a new TUN driver for 
Windows 7+ called &quot;Wintun&quot; that we expect to be safer and faster than 
the current popular OpenVPN TUN driver, and also suitable for all 
projects, not just for WireGuard. We already have packets flowing and 
things generally work well, but polish will require a bit of patience. 
If you&#39;d like to help and have an appetite for NDIS drivers, Win32 GUI 
programming, or Go, please do get in touch.
