Its been a couple years, perhaps, so maybe 1.3? I'll be honest, I was tired and did not look at the version I was running. I decided to give up on trying to get the GUI to behave reliably when selecting those settings; they would uncheck themselves on consecutive launches of the app for some reason. I have now upgraded my OS which gave support for OpenSSL 3 and I have installed AirVPN Suite 3. I've also given up on trying/wanting to use wireguard after reading your FAQ "Does WireGuard pose privacy issues?". While I did not really think about, nor did I know, that information before, I do understand the implications laid out in that post. I'll stick with your openvpn solution.
That said, what kind of speeds should I be hoping for with openvpn from US to NL? And I do know you can't say with certainty nor make me any promises. For reference I have a low-latency Gigabit up/down connection in US. The most I'm seeing in my apps over the vpn through NL servers is 25-28MBps (bytes, not bits) and speedtests only show marginally higher at 340-ish Mbps down. I know the distance is a factor, and hop count, etc.. Just curious if I should try and keep tuning this. If all I can get is 25MBps down (bytes, not bits) then I'm ok with that, but who doesn't want faster, am I right?
Thanks for letting me resurrect this older thread. My wireguard question seemed relevant...sorry for changing direction now. My question about further tuning, or not, is my final thought here, thanks.
