Writing an article for Linux Magazine
Posted: 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
