Hi all, what version of AmneziaWG are we running on? 1.5?
if so I assume we are benefitting from the multi-level obfuscation at the transport layer?
What version of Amnezia are we on?

We have reviewed version 2.0, and we will not be adding support for it for the foreseeable future. We understand that many users here were expecting that we will add support for it, so before you feel disappointed, let us explain why.
Supporting AmneziaWG 2.0 means that we need to drop support for native WireGuard which is powered by a kernel module which is a lot faster than the Go implementation of AmneziaWG 2.0 to support it on all existing VPN servers.
Alternatively we could deploy brand new and separate infrastructure only for AmneziaWG 2.0 and separate it from WireGuard, but that is costly (not only in terms of money, but mainly developing and keeping it safe and up to date) and we already have Stealth Proxies for this.
AmneziaWG 2.0 is very close to Hysteria 2.0 that we already support.
Supporting only AmneziaWG 1.0 is not that bad and DPI vendors still need to keep the block rules for it. More block rules = more computing power. At some point some DPI vendors might even drop block rules for it, because everyone will focus on 2.0 version. Of course more modern DPI system might keep all the possible protocols in the block list, but it does not apply to every country/city.
Adding support for AmneziaWG 2.0 won't solve the issue with blocked VPN infrastructure that we are using for WireGuard/OpenVPN and I have explained this in my previous message here.
We will keep checking the status and development of AmneziaWG, but for now we will not support AmneziaWG 2.0 or any further versions of it. We think it's fair game based on how many protocols we already provide today.

well well! we have 2.0 now ready! are the servers capable of the extra obfuscation now for us to get the new protocol benefits?
@0xVirtualCake can we get one of the servers updated to the latest spec and a the config files generator updated? this will be a game changer.
only protocol left for me on the wish list is XRAY :D
No updates here
https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-android
They've only updated an IOS version
https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amneziawg-apple/releases/tag/v2.0.0
where is it?
It’s in the Mac App Store and iOS App Store… both

lucky
is this imminent? the new benefits of the new protocol seems to be significant for obfuscation.
same with XRAY
Maybe try to add amnezia 1.5 firstly? it should work without client update as howto says. I mean about l1-l5 params
Amnezia updated Windows client to 2.0.0 version (it's a pre-release) with support for awg 1.5 parameters and awg 2.0 deps, so I tried awg 1.5 parameters, but it didn't work, while on Android these parameters work just fine. Can someone test the Windows client and share the results, please?
P.S. There is a beta of AmneziaWG for Android with AWG 2.0 support if anyone is interested.
2.0 was just pushed to Android.
awesome! @0xVirtualCake now that everyones at 2.0 can we get the new server side work done as this is a massive protocol for us users here :) and the new features are prefect for better obfuscation.
Yeah, we are aware! Our team will look into it next week and see how hard it's going to be to implement.
Yesssssssss
I'm really looking forward to the second version. In March, vless, vmess, shadowsocks, and trojan started working very poorly in Russia. They're very unstable, with speed drops and connection drops. AmneziaWG is stable, but some locations are completely unavailable.I'm really looking forward to the second version.
