About the possibility of WireGuard provide support in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, we are currently undergoing early discussions. Developers believe that can be achieved by using the existing kernel module DKMS or based on Linux 5.5 kernel patch marked WireGuard, because the necessary encryption API changes have been incorporated into the Linux 5.5 kernel version.
Yesterday we have reported before, due to the scheduled time of the merge window, WireGuard very sorry unable to join Linux 5.5. For this reason, WireGuard also unfortunately missed the mark Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but it has emerged in the Linux net-next 5.6 in. In addition, with Linux 5.5 will be held in late January or early February release, this is almost certainly the next Ubuntu kernel version will support long-term support version, since Linux 5.6 for LTS release is too close to the release date of April , so the same is released in April, too late to use Ubuntu 20.04 Linux 5.6.
From the Ubuntu mailing lists recent activity point of view, the development team seems interested to WireGuard added to the 20.04 version of Ubuntu kernel. Canonical's kernel team is to discuss the matter, but WireGuard author and lead developer Jason Donenfeld have also expressed their willingness to help.
In the case of Linux 5.5 with encryption API bit WireGuard of, if not already provided DKMS WG module, the kernel patch to fix it should be very simple. We will see a secure VPN tunnel is expected to support this technology in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
