For a simple remote connect back home when traveling
Performing better and being better is not the same thing.
Yes, it would have a performance advantage.
With how new/unproven this is, I would say no to being better. Need more data.
I haven't seen any changes to WireGuard that have made me decide to use it. And yes, I have tested it on multiple occasions.
For my uses, OpenVPN still reigns supreme (security, above all).
And I like to see what/when is connected to my router too. It is very hard to see that with WireGuard, easily.
Nothing changes for that other thread.
RMerlin and the others said about as much as can be said.
To me, they aren't equal, they are different.
If you need speed and you're using an underpowered consumer router (all of them) then maybe WireGuard is something to consider. Otherwise, OpenVPN is again, to me, far more flexible, feature-rich, and simply superior.
