Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server?
Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 5 weeks ago No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).
Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.
I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.

I tested this thoroughly, and confirmed it’s the encryption overhead, no question. It may not matter when you’re talking to a server over the internet, but I’m on the same 2.5GBe LAN as my N100 box, and going over wireguard is noticeably slower than without.
