Få bättre VPN-prestanda (openvpn)?

@joakim99 have you considered running open source OS on your router, like OPNSense or pfSense? This will give you the full control over the hardware, and better throughput too.

@joakim99: Ah, sorry. I missed that bit.

You could keep your USG and run a VPN box behind it, but it will complicate your configuration. I suppose it possible to configure it by forwarding port 1194 on USG to the VPN box, but I haven't tried setup like this before.

Why do you want to keep USG, wouldn't this setup make it redundant?

You can probably sell this unifi USG on a secondary market for a decent price.

What are your OVPN throughput requirements? Throughput will depend almost entirely on the single-core CPU clock. Open VPN can't utilize more than one CPU core (unlike WireGuard).

@joakim99: this is mostly a matter of preference. I think both systems work well, and have almost the same features. Both choices are good.

If you want to dive deeper into it, you could look at the community.

I think pfSense team and community have been very hostile over the years towards other open source operating systems. I think this is mostly due to die-hard fans, that can't accept the fact that other OSes are just as good.
This incident didn't help: https://opnsense.org/opnsense-com/ and it really sums up the politics in the pfSense project.

I support OPNSense more, because there's less drama there, and the community is more friendly. I personally prefer the OPNSense UI over pfSense.

With all this said, there are other projects that I like even more. OpenWRT is mature, and works great. It's based on Linux, so it's faster than both OPNSense and pfSense. It supports wireguard, and it has much, much better wireless performance.

It really depends what you want to do with your router. If you plan on running Open VPN then pfSense and OPNSense are great for that. If you want to run it as an access point, then OpenWRT is better.

@joakim99: I suggest you run OPNSense on the hardware you have. Once you are convinced that it works well for you, check the power consumption with one of these cheap meters, to see if it makes sense to invest money into specialized hardware to reduce the electricity bill.

jag har gamla ovpnboxen med vilfo programvaran och har 500/500mbit och får ut minst 275/440mbit med fast ip, om jag ansluter utan fast ip (som jag behöver egentligen) så får jag 400/475mbit mvh.
