WireGuard is a VPN that uses state-of-the-art cryptography. It is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. WireGuard userspace tools require WireGuard support in the kernel (or as a kernel module). Refer to the wireguard-linux-compat script on Slackbuilds to build the associated kernel module package. openresolv is an optional runtime dependency -- you need it if you want to use to use wg-quick's DNS option. The wg-quick script needs at least nft 0.7 installed, if using nft. Slackware 14.2 ships with nftables 0.6. As such the build script will patch wg-quick to always fall back to iptables. If you have nftables 0.7 or newer installed (i.e. you are running -current or a modified 14.2 installation), you may want to leave wg-quick unpatched by setting NEW_NFT as follows -: NEW_NFT=yes ./wireguard-tools.SlackBuild
