Yeah, I'm just pointing out that OpenVPN has a kernel implementation since it does seem to make quite a large performance difference when available.

Yeah sounds about right. The only reason I'm even running graphene right now is because I heard he left the project. Otherwise I wasn't sure I wanted to be dependent on it

Didn't he leave the project though?

OpenVPN operates in kernel space as of 6.16. Well specifically for the data channel. Control channel is still managed in userspace so you don't have to do asymmetric TLS in the kernel. This also reduces the overhead and increases performance substantially. It is slightly more complicated to setup but barely tbh (I'm speaking from the server side). Is the crypto outdated? Not as far as I'm aware.

The big thing for public VPNs is the server can push the configuration to the client rather than having it be static. Config push, specifically for addressing is basically the only viable way to do a NATless VPN. Additionally while unrelated to public VPN providers wg does not have the ability to bind to individual IPs which is a headache for my internal VPN use case.

It isn't in a lot of ways

Why must everyone be removing OVPN 🙁

I can't even view it...I get a TLS error

They have my credit card and legal name but not my ID, ID number, picture of me, etc. For me a credit card can be justified...but an ID is a line cross I'm not comfortable with. Additionally there are services I don't trust with my credit card and I use PayPal or privacy.com for those depending on if I want to give them my name or not. I don't typically like privacy because it can only be funded with debit but it allows you to give payment and still hide your identity completely (at the cost of you telling them who you are)

Kerneld...I shudder at the thought.

Also it's running locally. I think the biggest problem with AI is the data harvesting and this is just not that

While that's true it doesn't change the fact that I would still cancel my subscription if a company asked me for ID. While it is true the company really doesn't have a choice that doesn't mean I'll comply
