As soon as I saw that white thingy with two antennas I was like "hold on a second!". How is the speed for you? I set it up as a repeater with single-hop VPN and just ran cloudflare's speedtest (I'm connecting from a hotel's wifi). I got:

41.6 dl 44.8 up 14.0 latency 4.84 jitter

At first I setup openvpn and it was like 3mbps laggy very laggy. But wireguard for some reason makes it fly.

Are you using gl.inets own configuration program or openwrt's luci?

Openvpn is based on older encryption that is compute heavy. For 10 mb/s in open VPN, you'll get 30x the performance in wireguard, at least in my experience with the same opal. This is when it is done in software only and without a dedicated encryption chip.

There is a bug in some glinet firmware where the allowedips doesn't get parsed correctly. I believe it is fixed in the newest version (I'm doing split VPN now)
