Conclusions: Conclusions:
- Docker desktop on Windows sucks network performance wise 😆 - Docker desktop on Windows sucks network performance wise 😆
- Wireguard is only 4.2% faster than OpenVPN (comparing the 2 maximum bandwidths `645.91` and `673.37`) - On the usual amd64 CPUs, Wireguard is only 4.2% faster than OpenVPN (comparing the 2 maximum bandwidths `645.91` and `673.37`)
- On low power devices such as Raspberry Pis, the performance jump is more significant, with a 14% download bandwidth increase over OpenVPN (tested by [@granroth](https://github.com/granroth))
