Ovpn vs NordVPN

Don't bother reading this rant below unless you want technical details, but that administrator misconfigured his VPN to the point where OVPN underperformed by four times what it should have been.Its been ages since I played around with networking at a low-level (we're talking teenage years, when ARIN didn't charge for netblocks, and Cisco 7206VXR's could hold the entire internet BGP table in it), but I'll give it a go.1) It's not a fair comparison to begin with since OpenVPN is effectively maintaining a lot more information as it's acting as either a) as is in his configuration, a Layer 3 router, there's bound to be more overhead as it's maintaining a lot more information than a single Point-to-Point SSH connection; he should be using Bridged Mode and routing via a virtual switch at L2 instead.[1] He sort of acknowledged this by making an appeal to the OSI layer, but then didn't check to see if there was a way to disable the full-routing functionality and move down to switching

Again I ran the Advanced --> Diagnostic Tool --> Network Flush and restarted PC, did not work. Ran Advanced --> Diagnostic Tool --> Reset App and Network Flush both and restart Pc, did not work. Disabled Kaspersky Antivirus and tried Nord VPN on and quick connect or P2P, still did not work.

They're all solid options. I went with NordVPN because of speed, and [I love their UX](https://1vpn.io/review/nord-vpn/r).
