Because OpenVPN is fiddly to set up and modern Wireguard setups seem to scale well enough.

mullvad and windscribe are the only two i support

Do you have a stance on IVPN?

Bummer. For whatever reason I always get much better speeds on openvpn servers.

I’ve had an active iVPN sub for almost 8 years now. Cannot say anything bad about them whatsoever

WG was always so much better anyway.

That's not something you hear very often.

I remember maybe 12-15 years ago, setting OpenVPN on my TomatoUSB flashed router, invoking all kind of openssl command to generate certificates, keys, signing stuff, setting the router, setting the TAP/TUN clients etc. but once setup it works for years on my laptop, phone, etc.

Now with WG I basically scan on my phone a QR code generated on my Merlin router and that's it.

Well it was written to replace open VPN right? So that makes sense

That’s very strange. WireGuard was specifically created in part because of speed limitations.

Urgh, I don't really have time to do this migration but guess I'm planning it in anyway.

Past me was a lazy bum. But I'm confident that future me is all over this. Time for a nap.

recently switched from mullvad to ivpn, and the servers are noticeably slower. with mullvad all the servers I used achieved my connections max speed 500 mb/s but on ivpn they usually do 50 - 300, and sometimes i need to switch server because they go down (i use european servers). only reason i switched was because mullvad causes a wakelock on mint cinnamon and it drives me nuts.

Damn you sir, you didn't need to call me out with that last paragraph.

No, I know it wasn't my shoe, but look at how well it fits!

Only the opposite has ever happened for me.

It was written because openvpn is a fucking mess yeah lol

Is that a Mint Cinnamon issue primarily?

it hasn't happened on other distros but i have other bigger issues on them so i never could test for a longer period. took me a year to find what caused it and it hasn't happened since i switched from mullvad. fun bonus: ovpn destroyed my nvidia drivers on mint...

A bit annoying for all the things that don't support openvpn, like old Synology NAS devices.

Good! That shit needs to be phased out.
