Hello,
So whenever you do research into the topic of what protocol to use for
tunneling the idea of VPN will always come up. L2TP is considered
obsolete and insecure, however I see a lot of ISPs still use it to pass
traffic from one source to another.
The background behind this is that my cellular provider censors the
majority of media, which is incredibly annoying, most people would just
say to use a VPN, but I do not wish to.
My server network uses an ISP which does not filter any content, so my
plan is to tunnel all traffic from my laptop when I am working away from
my server (most of the time), so that I can have uncensored traffic
wherever I go.
Now the two questions come up, privacy or speed. Being OpenBSD privacy
is the number one priority, and as far as the benchmarks and studies
show, wireguard has the fastest encryption and also security.
On the other hand, it appears L2TP, although insecure as a VPN, is still
a very fast method of passing traffic around.
What protocol (and software) do you guys recommend me to deploy? and
should I prioritise the speed in which I can push packets through my
server router (OpenBSD), or the security of those packets (bare in mind
the content of the packets will still be TLS encrypted, so the packet
payload is still secure regardless of the choice I make).
Thank you,
