How do you decide what vpn tech to use?

I was using openvpn and then switched to wireguard because openvpn was consuming a lot of power on my phone.

Why would I want to use Ipsec?

It's already built into your phone. (Probably)


It is. But just one tiny app for VPN isn't too bad if that VPN does not ruin internet bandwidth.

Why wouldn't you?


I don't know. I briefly used IPsec when I stopped using OpenVPN and I was looking for alternatives. The setup for IPsec on the server was slightly annoying. I used a Github project that sets up everything for me but the script didn't do everything.

And I have observed(from just using IPsec and wireguard on my phone) that wireguard is quite good(maybe even better) than IPsec at not annihilating internet bandwidth.
