This may not be the best place to ask, but in looking at switching to Mullvad they offer something called Wire~~shark~~guard? I've seen ~~Wireshark~~ Wireguard mentioned a lot recently, but I have no idea what it does beyond a regular VPN or why I'd set Mullvad up on Wireguard?

Use case: PC &amp; SteamDeck

I am honestly not that knowledgable on network specifics, but I think you mean Wireguard. Like I mentioned, I won’t be able to help with details but in short, it is a newer VPN protocol, replacing openvpn. I can tell you for sure that it’s faster, with a smaller overhead, and easier to set up if you’re doing it manually. 


Wait for someone more knowledgeable if you want to know more from a privacy/technical standpoint, but it’s faster and easier, and it will be a requirement if I change services for whatever reason.
