The amount of overhead it takes to encrypt a full tunnel on an endpoint device is absolutely not worth it compared to GRE.

- stingraycharles 5y agoYeah, network hardware is already a bottleneck most of the time, it’s much more effective to keep encryption out of the critical path there. Besides, I wonder what the threat model is; you will still want end-to-end encryption on top of it, so why bother with encrypting the traffic below as well?
