alt Hacker NewsI wish they would improve wireguard-the-protocol as well: wireguard doesn't stand a chance against gov/isp blocks.

The mullvad apps do offer obfuscation options (shadowsocks, etc) but i agree it would be nice if something was baked into wireguard itself. I recently went through setting up shadowsocks over wg for my homelab and it was a good bit of effort
Anywhere I can read more about this?
Known Limitations
WireGuard is a protocol that, like all protocols, makes necessary trade-offs. This page summarizes known limitations due to these trade-offs.
Deep Packet Inspection
WireGuard does not focus on obfuscation. Obfuscation, rather, should happen at a layer above WireGuard, with WireGuard focused on providing solid crypto with a simple implementation. It is quite possible to plug in various forms of obfuscation, however.
tl;dr Read the docs.
That's more of a job for an encapsulating protocol. (shadowsocks or similar) Wireguard isn't designed to be obfuscating alone. It's just a simple l3 udp tunnel with a minimal attack surface.
