OpenVPN vs WireGuard Speeds on RT-AX86U?

[HarryMuscle]

Does anyone know of any speed comparisons between OpenVPN and WireGuard on a RT-AX86U router or another router with the exact same CPU?

Thanks,

Routers with the same exact CPU can do about 180-200Mbps on OpenVPN. For WireGuard - wait for someone else to reply. It depends on flowcache bypass implementation. Not all the models have it.

I have an AX86U with Merlin 388.2.2. I can get 450-500mbit with NordVPN on WireGuard, with QoS switched off.

Apart from much higher speeds, the connection can stay rock solid for weeks at a time.
