OMR is using a SOCKS for proxying TCP over MPTCP. Glorytun UDP is a VPN, choosing that in OMR will disable MPTCP and the proxy, although the author seems to have dropped the support for the reasons below. OMR is currently using a an optimized fork of a very old version of Gtun TCP[1] to tunnel non TCP streams over the bonding proxy. Gtun UDP doesn't reorder packets nor auto adjust weight making it effectively poor when using different links, not an issue if you're using same ISP and equal hardware. QUIC is also blocked due to the large overhead : MPTCP->SOCKS->TCP->UDP<-Client Any UDP service/streaming will perform poorly as a result. There are few MLVPN forks for non-equal WAN bonding and seamless failover, "UBOND"[2] does not require preset speed for each WAN, nor reorder buffer tweaking.

I think there are good points made here, but for the most part WireGuard is a massive upgrade compared to OpenVPN for most users, and I think it's set up really well for that use case (especially in a setting where you have control of the endpoints). There are other things for other use cases, I'm looking at glorytun [0] right now as a start. I particularly want the multipath stuff. Right now, it has the ability to do AEGIS where AES extensions are available, and fall back to ChaCha20-Poly1305. I personally think libsodium should look at adding a ChaCha12, and maybe ChaCha8, mode; 20 rounds seems pretty excessive, all things considered, and it has a considerable performance cost. By the way, given that the hardware would probably have dramatically more throughput and less complexity, I do wonder why CPU vendors aren't looking at ChaCha ac

celeration. It's not strictly necessary for timing attack reasons, since ChaCha doesn't really have these problems in software, but it seems to be better in every way than AES, given equal effort. RE: the multipath functionality is interesting to me, because I want to set up in some locations where directional radio could degrade in one direction or another, or maybe only satellite is available sometimes. I think probably the mad/glorytun multipath stuff is not that smart yet, but it's a start. [0]: https://github.com/angt/glorytun
