  • OP ignore anyone saying wireguard is better than openvpn, it’s not. they are two solutions used to solve for multiple problems.

    openvpn is highly configurable and is more widely supported across almost all platforms but the learning curve is medium to difficult.

    wireguard is easier to setup for first timers and has stronger encryption but lacks multiplatform support and has shorter track record ensuring security and viability.

    some say wireguard is “faster”, but I haven’t seen any real world instances of this being true unless you get close to the theoretical full saturation of a 1g interface. unless you’re dealing with HA or high throughput apps in a commercial setting I doubt you will run into that issue.

    personally I prefer openvpn because I use it across multiple platforms and have peace of mind knowing it’s a tried and tested solution with decades of public and private support.




  • if asked this I would go into a complicated explanation of how I would dismantle the switches to identify if they were functioning first because of sub-par outsourced manufacturing standards.

    they’d probably attempt to move on to a different question, but I would always bring it back to those shoddy light switches.

    “so do you have any questions for us?”

    yeah, do you know who the manufacturer of the light switches are? it’s probably Leviton, but I’m hoping it’s Honeywell because they’re far superior in quality. you see Leviton uses brass plated contacts vs Honeywell uses full brass fittings that don’t cause resistance and increases the potential for fires. are you aware that using one brand over another could reduce your insurance costs by up to 3%?
