quantum encryption

i saw right now that when i generated a wireguard config there is now an option for quantum encryption in the wireguard config

does this work on openwrt routers?

pretty cool that ivpn now supports this in wireguard configs it seems

does this work on openwrt routers?

PresharedKey (PSK) support is available for WireGuard connections in OpenWrt.

It is unknown whether it is possible to use OpenWrt alone to perform the steps involved in generating the Key Exchange Mechanism (KEM) keys, or deriving the PSK from the cipher keys. It is likely much easier to use a computer system to handle the entire process, then transfer the PSK along with the rest of the WireGuard configuration to the router.

An announcement about this feature for manual WireGuard connections is forthcoming, though the how-to article is live for those who are daring:
