      I'm guessing that the other user was talking about speeds in OpenVPN tunnel or he has an Intel Celeron version maybe.
      Mine has Intel Pentium Silver J5005, I'm paying for 600 Mbps down / 120 up. With WireGuard tunnel to Mullvad VPN I can easily achieve over 500 Mbps down and over 100 Mbps up (and that's with CoDel limiters for bufferbloat enabled)

      Sorry for the delay, to answer the question, yes, I'm using OpenVPN for my VPN tunnel, and the Dell Wyse 5070 does have the Intel Pentium Silver J5005, with a single 4GB DDR4 Stick of Ram and using the onboard 16GB eMMC drive.

        Upon searching for how to go about setting up Wireguard via PIA on my Dell Wyse 5070 running PFSense to see if I could obtain better throughput, I found this thread, which leads me to believe that I won't be doing so anytime soon?:

          It available again as a package so you can use it with any provider that has Wireguard.

            Why not? There's a pfSense WireGuard package.

              As @stephenw10 and @emikaadeo pointed out, it's back in 2.06 CE / 22.01 Plus. I'm new to this platform but my rough mile high overview was it was rushed, pulled and then re-released once it was fixed. I noticed the post you linked was from 2021 and think you caught old news.

                Guess I need to pay better attention to the dates of post.

                Thank you to all of you who pointed this out to me.

                I guess I know what my project is this weekend.

                Hopefully I can get this to work with PIA and see faster throughput

                thanks again,

                  Just installed the package, and see this.... I see it's 'experimental' at this time. I'll give it a go, and see what I can break :)

                    @usofa1984 I have another thread and someone had made a comment about Wireguard and not trusting it yet. I asked for a deeper explanation but got no response. I am thinking this may be why.

                    I’m new and still learning but to my inexperience this screams use in a test environment or for non-sensitive transmissions. Of course if they weren’t sensitive then you probably wouldn’t be using VPN.

                    Hoping others will chime in.

                      I am using Lenovo M900
                      I have an M91P Desktop standing by but I assume the power consumption is lower for the Tiny :)

                        @charlesdevis My Dell Wyse 5070 consumes 8W per the TP-Link HS-300 power strip that it’s plugged into:

                        (screen shot is from my Sense device that reads power stats from the powerstrip)

                        While my Asus RT-AC86U consumes 9W of power
