Hiya, quickly wondering if there is a big difference between speeds when using a vpn compared to using a proxy server solution? Anyone got any experience here or good articles to refer to?

Thanks 🌻

    Yep, just tried this today, and holy hell!

    I have older Cisco Linksys WRT160NL running DD-WRT. With OpenVPN I could get 5Mbps capped by CPU struggling at 100%. But today I tried WireGuard, and somehow even while doing 30Mbps, the CPU was just at around 25%.
