I noticed there are servers that have tls-crypt, tls1.2 with their specs.
Why would I choose a server with or with tls-crypt, tls1.2 over the other?
Is it safer, more secure?

tls-crypt means that the control channel of openvpn is encrypted from the start.  all servers support this at entry IP 3 or 4.


Ok, thanks!
So in Sesame Street language this means it's more secure, right?
Does this require more horse power on the client and/or server side? So performance would degrade a little?

Why is tls-crypt not the default option if the above is true (more secure)?

No, it's not more secure for the actual data.  It's more resistant to hostile networks.

It doesn't take appreciably more power to use and performance might be a little better depending on the network used.  They may not throttle it like they might other openvpn connections.

It's not the default because some old devices may not support tls-crypt?  I'm not sure.
