That’s uselessly vague. Do you mean the protocol, the implementation approach, the underlying crypto, or what?



Yes, the protocol, yes, the implementation approach, and yes, the underlying crypto. That sounds like a snarky response, but you really did kind of cover it.

Why it is not relevant?


I'd say it is. While I'm handwaving based on what I've read - wg should be better for voice and video chat, due to being low-overhead udp - which should translate to lower latency.


Openvpn in UDP mode running on an rpi can saturate a home connection and provide low enough latency for voice.
