Public meaning not self managed? Because these are not open to the "public", only to subscribers of the service. But I understand there are many users connecting to the same servers at the same time. I guess unless I can find a VPN provider that can do more than 250 Mbps then the RT-AX88U would...

Just gave this a shot with my i7 2635QM: type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-256-cbc 62025.49k 67077.36k 69036.03k 70165.77k 70120.79k It says "The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed" so it seems that the AX88U...

I connected to my closest PIA VPN server and got the following results with my 2011 Macbook Pro CPU: i7 2635QM VPN off/on Wifi: 250 Mbps/150 Mbps Wired: 890 Mbps/110 Mbps Wifi speeds are capped around 300 Mbps since I am on an N wifi adapter (old macbook). Not sure why I got slightly lower VPN...

Great idea, I will give this a shot once I am home. Let us for a moment ignore the possibility of the VPN provider as the bottleneck, if I were able to get a gigabit VPN provider, what would be the minimum processor needed to decrypt this at full speed? I found this thread on reddit where some...

I plan to use this router to connect my home devices, laptop for example, to a VPN provider (PIA for example). Since I have a 1Gbps connection I would rather not be bottle necked by the router. If you tell me that providers like PIA can't deliver 1Gbps then I guess my problem is already solved...

I have a 1000/50 connection and I trying to find a VPN on router setup which will allow 1000 Mbps down speed. My initial plan was to get an Asus RT-AX88U however after reading through the forums it seems this will max out around 200-250 Mbps. I was then leaning towards a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4...

And what if I leave the laptop on the router VPN? Wouldn't this just create a VPN chain? I imagine performance would take a significant hit here but it could be an interesting solution to create a sort of VPN redundancy. Could be useful if you wanted to use a second VPN where the provider would...

Hello, My ISP forces me to use an Arris TG3442 modem/router combo however the firmware on it has very limited options (no VPN options). I would like to use OpenVPN on the router so I have decided to go for an Asus router running Asuswrt-Merlin. I am however concerned how the two will interact...
