If wire guard is just bettr then I don’t see any reason to suport OpenVPN anyway.
Legacy devices with OpenVPN support only.
i can’t get wire guard to work on my home network so it is not better for me
edit: to be fair my internet connection is being tapped and recorded by law enforcement so i am assuming that is the problem.
How are you trying to using WG? I had issues with wg quick up or whatever it is, not bothered to check, but adding wireguard connections as NetworkManager interfaces works flawlessly for me.
Is that with any vpn provider? or hosting your own? And that is kind of a shame I guess you just won’t be able to use Mullvad vpn, good thing there are heaps of other options.
only hear about protonvpn
heap?
I can’t get WG to work in Qubes. OpenVPN just works
That’s kind of weird, because the reason why I never bothered with (selfhosted) VPNs before Wireguard was because it was the first one that just worked. Granted, due to its nature, you don’t get a lot of feedback when things don’t work, but it’s so simple in principle that there’s not a lot that can go wrong. For external VPNs like this, it should just be: Load config, double-check, done.
Now do it on an obscure router firmware
