Heh, right now i use WireGuard for exposing some of my homelab servers to the internet and to work around my ISPs NAT setup, WireGuard is really pleasant to use and simple to set up! I recall using OpenVPN a few years ago for a similar use case in my university dorm, it was comparatively way worse - the configuration parameters were unclear, some of the documentation was out of date and even when using the faster (but less secure) methods of encryption, i found myself having a VPS that was overwhelmed and had almost 100% CPU usage (on its single core, since VPSes are generally expensive) whereas the client couldn't get much past 10 - 20 Mbps when the connection speed itself was closer to 100 Mbps. Nowadays, for a VPN, i just use Time4VPS https://www.time4vps.com/virtual-private-network/?affid=5294 https://www.time4vps.com/virtual-private-network/?affid=5294 (affiliate link so i get discounts for signups, i also use them for most of my VPS hosting) because they're affordable and have more locations than i can get VPSes in those locations for comparable amounts of money. It seems like their offering is OpenVPN based which is surprising, since it works pretty well - makes me think that either i royally screwed up my own config back in the day (though default config should never hit 100% CPU usage like that, which happened to me), something was wrong with the system packages, or they just have beefier servers behind it, despite many users.
