      @JeGr My basic tests on my 150/15 connection showed:

      Raw 133/12
      OpenVPN 125/12
      Wireguard 131/12

      I have a Mikrotik hEX at home with some traffic-shaping enabled.

            Thanks @KOM that's interesting. We got it no higher than around ~220-320Mbps (depending on sending or receiving) while OVPN would hit ~450-500 depending on config and IPSec going up in spikes to as high as 575Mbps on hardware that is equivalent to the SG-5100 (eg. Atom 3558 SOC). Could be the implementation of course.

            If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

              I have been using nordvpn for the best part of a year and found it to be great.

              I did look at a lot of others but as someone said do your research, look at recommendations and check what meets your needs.

              I have also used nordvpn support a couple of times as well and they were very good, contrary to what I read in most of the reviews.

              Purevpn was the other one I was close togetting but nord had the edge for me. Works great with my pfsense and really good speeds.

                  Thanks Guys, thanks everyone for replying to my thread. However the thread is year old and there is no Black Friday to avail the deal☺ Anyways in the mean time I was doing my own research on Best VPN Services and after reviewing an article which gave me some very important insights such as logging policies and 5 eyes countries, where I was in a position to make an informed decision. I purchased ExpressVPN recently and it fit my purpose very well. Let me know what are your basis on choosing a VPN service.

                    Thing I can say about this thread - it has been the biggest SPAM magnet thread I have ever seen here, in the like 12 years been here ;)

                      @johnpoz I agree I'd just lock it as OP has said they found one.
