feld (feld@friedcheese.us)'s status on Saturday, 09-Nov-2024 01:56:11 JSTfeld @hj Wireguard's advantage originally was modern CPU-friendly crypto (256-bit ChaCha20 with Poly1305 for MAC). Then it got a kernel module to make it really fast.
Well, since then OpenVPN has a kernel module now too. Plus it can do ChaCha20/Poly1305. And it still has AES-256-GCM with hardware acceleration.
OpenVPN turns out to be faster now *and* more flexible.
