It appears that the HAP Lite uses a MIPS-based architecture, how quickly do VPNs run on it? When I was working on routers about a decade ago that was a major pain point, it would essentially limit OpenVPN connections to about 6 or 7mbps with a maxed out CPU running at a similar clock speed.



Zerotier maxes out based on the model since it's single core. On a ac3 around 20Mbps is the cap. With wireguard I max out at 300Mbps. I can't test openvpn since mikrotik doesn't support tls auth. IPsec was always my given linespeed.

Beware that you need fasttrack exclusion rules (via connection mark e.g.) for each vpn interface except zerotier.


300Mbps on Wireguard is incredible. Thank you for informing me.
