VPN tunnel with no encryption
-
Hi, i would like to stablish an OpenVPN tunnel between two PfSense fw's but without using any cyphering. Why there is no option for no encryption on PfSense, is that a limitation?
-
We've added this as a choice in 2.0, but it's not recommended. Why do you need a tunnel without encryption?
-
Because security is not a concern. Because my hardware is poor. To compare tunnel performance with/without encryption. And for general testing and diagnostics. Good to know it will be in 2.0. Thanks.

Is VPN without Encryption will also helpful in VOIP Calls Connectivity with good voice call quality ?Can VPN packet without encryption are trapped by our ISP???

VPN would add overhead to VOIP calls, it wouldn't help call quality, it may hurt it.
The only advantage might be that it would look like a different protocol to your ISP's equipment and may be bypassing some QoS in places.
It depends on what kind of filtering is being done by your ISP, but they could detect and block VPN traffic if they have powerful enough equipment to run protocol analysis on every connection that passes through their network.
