2This question is too broad. And it looks like that no previous research was done since there are [lots of information about this topic on the internet](https://www.google.com/search?q=wireguard+vs+openvpn). – Steffen Ullrich Oct 07 '19 at 09:14

Well ok this one for example is quite good but it does not answer all of my questions (namely best use case and is WireGuard based on OpenVPN) https://www.vpnranks.com/blog/wireguard-vs-openvpn/ – Sir Muffington Oct 07 '19 at 09:28

WireGuard is not based on OpenVPN. It is a completely new and lean VPN protocol. The WireGuard protocol is still work in progress.
Team of Mr Jason A. Donenfeld is still working toward a stable 1.0 release. This means it is ready for testing purposes.
You can find much more about the WireGuard over the Internet. Please see some links provided in the question comments and some I added below.
