Used OpenVPN for years. Seems people are moving away from that and switching to wireguard enabled VPNs. Any recs for a good one on Raspbian? If OpenVPN is still worth it I’ll stay with the known.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with OpenVPN, so if you’re happy with it, just stay with it.
I recommend wireguard, preferably with pivpn.
OpenVPN is too slow.
Curious: slow how? I have a gigabit connection at both ends and am still getting full line rate.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Openvpn is still alright, if you want you can try enabling dco it can make it a lot faster.
You asking for a service, or a server to run for yourself?
Server to run myself.
Lots of people have moved on to more dynamic options that use JIT-style routing and role-,based security.
Netbird, Tailscale/Headscale, ZeroTier and Netmaker are all pretty popular.
Netbird and Netmaker are probably the simplest to get started with, but Headscale server + Tailscale client has been the best performing in my experience.
Netmaker is crap compared to Netbird unless you really need nodes to connect with native wireguard. Netbird has better ACLs setup, clearer documentation, and even has a new reverse proxy feature
Is dead simple and does both OpenVPN and wireguard.
Thanks. I’ll check it out.
