Writing an article for Linux Magazine

Post by Elwood_G » Thu Jan 30, 2014 10:11 am

Hello,

I am writing an article about SoftEther VPN for German Linux Magazine. After the first tests I have two questions:

First (in native SoftEther mode) the default symmetric algorithm is RC4 which is commonly considered a weak algorithm. Why is that?

The web page claims, that SoftEther is way faster than openvpn, however tests over a LAN connection in a virtualised environment were actually very slow (I tested with netperf). What is a setup for optimal performance?

Regards,

Konstantin
