OpenVPN DCO Tested — Significant Performance Gains

It is commonly stated that OpenVPN is slow. However, with Data Channel Offloading (aka DCO) that may no longer be the case. In this video I decided to test that functionality to determine if it makes a significant difference in performance. Using a self-hosted instance of OpenVPN Access Server, I tested the performance of OpenVPN with and without DCO enabled on the same local network over 10 Gbps network interfaces to obtain the maximum performance with the hardware that I had available for testing. Disclosure: OpenVPN sponsored this video but they had no influence on my test results and did not get to see the video before I posted it.
