The problem with the Internet is that it is also susceptible to all sorts of misuse now that nation-states are involved in a race to basically weaponize it.Īnd while corporate data is valuable, most consumer data is not worth wasting time on. The reason for all this is to simple avoid dedicated links between sites (which wouldn't need encryption) and instead use the Internet to route the packets cheaply. Each bit of traffic is encrypted inside a regular ethernet packet which is then decrypted at the destination. These are typically used to join corporate locations to form a WAN (Wide Area Network).
The whole idea behind a VPN is that it is a Virtual Private Network. My only issue with NordVPN is that every once in a while, I get disconnected during online play. I know WireGuard/WinTun/NordLynx is much lighter compared to OpenVPN, but in my case, I wonder if there would be any major difference. OpenVPN Client CPU utilization stays below 2%.

I also wonder if I should care because with standalone OpenVPN Windows App (UDP Protocol) my latency is actually better than latency I get with my ISP, my top speed is within 95% of the speed I get without any VPN, and that speed is achieved within seconds. When following instructions outlined in the link I provided above, I can't connect to any NordVPN servers, even the servers that do work with NordLynx Protocol when connecting via NordVPN App. I would much rather use the latest OpenVPN Alpha (Technology Preview) that supports WireGuard/WinTun protocol. On Windows, NordVPN App uses a very outdated OpenVPN version and in many ways, it is just bloatware. NordVPN states that it only allows the use of its WireGuard/WinTun protocol (branded NordLynx) via its own NordVPN App.
