I definitely noticed the performance boost on my Pixel 8, for some reason it seems to really not like wireguard-go, it struggled to pull even 100mbps, maybe something unoptimized on Google's custom hardware. With the new GotaTun version I can pull 500mbps+, though unfortunately it also seems to have introduced a bug that randomly prevents the phone from entering a deep sleep state, so occasionally my battery will randomly start draining at 10x normal speed if I have it enabled until I reboot.

MTU strikes again. 1320.

Same behavior on raspberry pi 5. Might be just lack of arm optimizations.

It's very likely that VPNs like this are not CPU-bound, even on somewhat whimpy CPUs. I'd wager even some microcontrollers could sling 500megabits/sec around without trouble.

Oh, this is the reason the Mullvad app on my Pixel 6a was suddenly able to connect in less than a second where before it would take 5-10 seconds, nice!
