Fastest VPN router device to sit in front of my tplink deco home network

VPN

Currently I have a deco mesh system (replacing soon) but am wanting to beef up my security and privacy with NordVPN. I have NordVPN client on my phone, but wanted to do it on my primary router so that my phone battery lasts a bit longer and so all home network device traffic is encrypted.

I can do it on my Deco xe75 primary router, but it only has OpenVPn which reduces my fiber speed from 1 gb to like 150 mb. I ordered a GL.iNet Brume 2 buts it notes say OpenVPN speeds up to 150 Mbps; WireGuard speeds up to 355 Mbps. 355 mbs seems terribly slow for a 1.5 gbs fiber connection.

Anyone have experience with a vpn appliance that can manage my network with capabilities to get close to say 900 mbs after encryption? I am not gonna be happy with 350 mbs, but will accept it in the short-term.

There is NO reason to put your entire internet connection behind nordvpn. Where did this idea even come from??

Cons outweigh the benefits. Wouldn’t recommend

Additionally, other users in home may experience weird issues due to being in a VPN like sites and apps refusing their traffic

Make your own and ditch your deco system.

What do you mean increase security by putting network behind nordvpn? Vpn is to create a secure connection between two points, so wireshark and openvpn are for you to connect back in to your home network when away from home. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I run my own dictatorship in my home so they will accept their 3 shillings of internet a week whether they like it or not :joy:

All joking aside, I am just wanting to speed up the encryption process and need a device to do so. Maybe the small gl.inet device just doesn’t have enough hp to keep up. I could use a small Linux device as a router or a beefier VPN appliance.

Well, I rethought my mindset based on your and others mindset. I am setting up split tunneling instead and define just a handful of devices to go through the vpn tunnel.
