Daniil Baturin<p>I really hope that mainstream support for OpenVPN DCO will make it more popular than WireGuard.<br>I understand that WireGuard got popular because it was kernel-mode and thus fast.<br>But it's a pain. Trying to find a settings mismatch is annoying. A broken connection can appear up.<br>Auto-configuring clients is just not there.<br>OpenVPN has it all built-in. And with DCO, it's fast.</p><p><a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/vpn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vpn</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>networking</span></a></p>
