I don't know how people around here feel about Mikrotik, but they have included Wireguard support in their latest operating system.

Hi David,
My understanding is that Wireguard is software available for general purpose operating systems. I specifically need a set of hardware network appliances. I don't overly care which protocol they're running as long as an initiator stuck behind a nat box I don't control can maintain a connection with a hub and handle speeds in the100mbps to 10gbps.

I specifically cannot use general purpose Linux machines for this. I need network appliances.

I specifically need an integrated network appliance, not software I add to something.
I love my Linux-based VPN servers but my customer very specifically said no. I can't publicly explain why but trust me when I say it's a "hard no" and it's not a question of persuasion or education. My customer understands and likes Linux but he simply cannot use it this time.
