      @frankr2994 Just a note, I have 2 10Gb ports, one goes untagged through my switch to ATT, the other has 3 VLANs to my switch. Because all of the systems are 1Gb or less the 10Gb handles the traffic with ease. And it freed copper ports on my switch.

        Ok so I know that nordvpn provides OpenVPN configuration. I honestly didn't know the difference between openvpn and wire guard before. However I just found this https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/m0989o/nordvpn_wireguard_setup_works/

        Apparently I could use wire guard with that provider. Wouldn't that take care of alot of speed issues?

          WireGuard is certainly faster for a single connection. Significantly faster. There are a lot of variables so I couldn't tell you the exact speed you'll see.

            Ya that's a given. I know once I get it together it will be time to test, reconfigure, rinse and repeat.
