Coming from Mikrotik… A bunch of their routers have IPSec hardware acceleration. And they took forever (over a decade) to stop using OVPN as TCP.
I was forced into using L2TP+IPSec as that’s what they did well.
After a few years… Your Rasphone file becomes really unwieldily. It takes about 2 minutes to even open the program in my windows 10 laptop. The GUI VPN in network monitor, stopped showing the VPNs I was adding a while ago… But I digress (or ramble).
Mikrotik added OpenVPN with UDP and LZO just last year.
But they also added Wireguard.
Wireguard is so much more efficient. Adding the public keys is a little tricky… But jumping between Connections is so much better.
It’s layer 3 rather than layer 2… So tunnels vs interfaces takes some getting used too…
But… When I am out and about… I turn on Wireguard on my droid. No matter what I connect to… It keeps sending my traffic back to my office, then on to the interwebz. I don’t have to keep turning it on and off everytime I change IPs of services. The packets go… They match on the other side… It keeps on working.
It’s also fast compared to other protocols.
