Introduction

In this article we compare two popular VPN protocols. OpenVPN is a highly secure and widely used service that’s been around since 2002, while Wireguard is a newer protocol optimized for performance on Linux systems that was released in 2015. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages: OpenVPN can be installed on virtually any system or device, but it requires more configuration than Wireguard does because of the custom scripts that need to be set up before it can be used; Wireguard offers fewer features but also has less overhead in terms of memory usage or CPU cycles required by each connection. However, if you’re looking for something lightweight that lets you easily set up your own VPN server and encrypts all traffic between clients and servers in real-time with no compromise on speed – then Wireguard would probably suit your needs best!

Security

OpenVPN uses TLS and HMAC authentication methods, while wireguard uses Ed25519 signatures and Curve25519 public key encryption. They both use perfect forward secrecy, meaning that a new private key is generated for each new session.

Wireguard also has an advantage over OpenVPN because its code is open source and peer reviewed by security experts who can find vulnerabilities before anyone else does.

Speed

Wireguard is faster than OpenVPN. This is because Wireguard uses UDP and TCP protocols, which are more efficient than the TCP protocol used by OpenVPN. The difference between the two protocols is negligible for most applications, but if you want to squeeze out every last bit of speed from your VPN connection then wireguard may be right for you.

Portability

OpenVPN is portable to many platforms, including Linux, Windows and macOS. Wireguard is portable to many platforms, including Linux, Windows and macOS. Both OpenVPN and Wireguard are also portable to most cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Digital Ocean and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

WireGuard

WireGuard is a kernel-based VPN solution. It uses state-of-the-art cryptography, and it’s easy to configure and deploy. WireGuard is also fast and secure, making it an excellent choice for your network security needs.

OpenVPN and WireGuard are both very good protocols with their own advantages.

OpenVPN has been around for a long time, and it’s widely used. WireGuard is newer but has some advantages over OpenVPN. Both protocols are open source, secure and fast. They can both be used on Linux, Windows or Mac computers.

Both protocols are portable–you can install them on your computer without having to worry about whether you’re using Windows 10 or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver).

The OpenVPN protocol uses encryption. Wireguard is also encrypted.

OpenVPN uses TLS and HMAC authentication methods, while wireguard uses Ed25519 signatures and Curve25519 public key encryption. They both use perfect forward secrecy, meaning that a new private key is generated for each new session.

Security and Encryption

OpenVPN uses TLS and HMAC authentication. Wireguard uses ED25519 signatures and Curve25519 public key encryption. Both use perfect forward secrecy, meaning that a new private key is generated for each new session. This prevents attackers from decrypting previous sessions if they manage to steal your credentials somehow, which is especially important for VPNs because of their nature as an insecure connection between two parties (the user’s computer and the VPN server).

Performance

Wireguard is faster than OpenVPN in some cases, but not all. In most cases, it will be about the same speed as OpenVPN. On some systems (like Linux) WireGuard can be faster than OpenVPN because of its smaller size and the fact that it does not use OpenSSL as its encryption library–OpenSSL takes up quite a bit of memory and CPU power.

Most people would say that WireGuard is much easier to configure than OpenVPN because it uses fewer configuration files and has fewer options for setting up your VPN server or client software. However, this does mean that you may need something like [this guide](https://medium.com/@jordanpotti3/the-wireguard-configuration-guide-instructions-for-linux-macos-windows-android) if you’re having trouble getting started with WireGuard!

Wireguard is more secure than OpenVPN. Wireguard provides a higher level of security because it’s designed to be more resistant to hacking attempts and other attacks on your data, which can lead to privacy violations or identity theft. It’s also easier to use in some cases because there are fewer options that you need to configure when setting up Wireguard connections compared with setting up an OpenVPN connection (though this depends on your operating system).

Wireguard is more portable than OpenVPN: You can take your Wireguard server with you anywhere in the world–or even just across town–by transferring its configuration file over Wi-Fi or USB thumb drive! This makes it ideal if you’re traveling abroad with an unreliable internet connection where only certain websites work well enough for streaming video content but not others; having access through another nearby device means no matter where we go next year our kids will always be able to watch shows like Paw Patrol without any problems whatsoever.

Installation

The installation process for both tools is straightforward, but there are some differences.

OpenVPN is a command line tool that can be installed on Linux and MacOS systems. Wireguard, on the other hand, is not available for Windows users (as of writing). However, it does have a Docker image that can be used to run containers on your system without having to install anything else. This makes installation easier than openvpn’s manual process of downloading packages from GitHub and compiling them yourself.

Installing and configuring a VPN server with WireGuard is much simpler than OpenVPN because there’s no need to set up custom scripts or daemons on your system. You can just install the official Linux static binaries or use third-party packages provided by your Linux distribution or virtualization software vendor to simplify installation on most systems. That said, OpenVPN offers more configuration options if you need them, especially if you want to create scripts that automate the process of creating dynamic VPN tunnels on a large number of servers automatically at boot time (which may be useful in some cases).

WireGuard is a secure, fast and easy to configure VPN solution. OpenVPN is a full-featured VPN solution that has been around for a long time.

WireGuard is easier to set up and maintain than OpenVPN.

Conclusion

As you can see, both openvpn and wireguard are great protocols. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they’re also very similar in many ways. In the end, it comes down to what features are most important for your project or organization. If you’re looking for something simple with minimal configuration requirements then WireGuard may be a better fit; if however the ability to customize every aspect of your VPN server is important then OpenVPN may be better suited (though note that this will require some programming knowledge).
