Proton VPN has a beta of their linux app which employs openvpn DCO which
is allegedly as fast as wireguard.

Full transparency... I'd never speak poorly about any opensource application. I absolutely appreciate the work, effort and generosity
that anyone has put into developing something for the community. But I
don't think it's just the speed that wireguard provides, it also shines
and is a stellar showcase of code simplicity, elegance and security (auditing). From what I've seen, heard, researched... openVPN is a bit
of a mess in the code department. But I still have it running on one of
my secondary/backup home VPNs.
Considering my relative 'disinterest' in vpn, I'm surprised I've been
fooling w/ it some. I don't really have a need. I don't believe I need
to hide anything from my connectivity provider and I don't have trouble connecting to anything because I'm the wrong IP, and I don't do things
that would get me into copyright trouble, and I'm not a privacy buff.
Combine VPN and ad-blocking with Pi-hole and you have a super
secure/private connection from anywhere back to your home: https://pi-hole.net/

However, whenever i 'play around' with the implementations of VPN which
are available from the various providers (I've only been looking at
forms of free), there is more ovpn available than wg for linux.
My experiences w/ wg-quick haven't been entirely smooth.
