Aeolus VPN provides the following key features:
Aeolus VPN is platform agnostic and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Aeolus VPN configured with either AES-256-GCM and ChaCha20 symmetrical encryption ciphers are available on all three platforms. Currently, the PEC encryption implementation is only available on Windows and macOS.
Note: These general performance results vary slightly depending on the symmetrical cipher or symmetrical encryption modality that is in use.
"We chose WireGuard as the foundation because it has a very small code base of approximately 4,000 lines of code as compared to OpenVPN and IPsec that each have over 400,000 lines of code. This means that Aeolus VPN has a smaller attack surface and it has the added security measure of not responding to unauthenticated packets. More importantly, the Aeolus VPN integration of WireGuard offers a secure data-in-motion solution that runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, provides proven asymmetric key exchange, has sophisticated hashing functions, leverages message authentication for added security, and works equally well for UDP and TCP protocols," said Dr. Milton Mattox, Chief Technology Officer at Castle Shield Holdings, LLC. Aeolus VPN is available today for Beta testing and proofs of concept and comes with the PEC as the default symmetrical encryption for Windows and macOS. Aeolus VPN enables enterprises to securely encrypt point-to-point data-in-motion connections without compromising performance and flexibility.
