        For 1Gbps OpenVPN? Probably not. At least not with a single tunnel.

          @stephenw10 and with wireguard? I heard that it uses a lot less resources...

                OpenVPN is single threaded so, for a single tunnel, you need a CPU with the fastest single thread performance you can get. I'm not sure I've seen anyone hit 1Gbps on a single tunnel, but I have not been following that closely. There are a number of threads here discussing it.
                It is possible to setup multiple tunnels and load-balance between them. That only helps if your traffic across the tunnel is multiple connections of course.
                All that assumes whatever you're connecting to can actually pass that too.
