AmneziaWG vs WireGuard: what changed and why it matters

WireGuard set a new bar for VPN protocols: small codebase, modern cryptography, and excellent throughput. AmneziaWG keeps those strengths while adjusting the handshake and packet profile so connections stay fast and stable across a wider range of networks.

What stays the same

The core remains WireGuard: the same modern key exchange and the same lean design that makes it fast on phones and routers alike.

Where it fits in RunVPN

RunVPN connects by default over VLESS-Reality (XTLS-Vision) on the Xray engine, with AmneziaWG available in the infrastructure as an alternative WireGuard-based path. Both aim for the same goal: fast, reliable, private connections on every device.
