WireGuard vs OpenVPN

This guide explains WireGuard versus OpenVPN in plain language. It is written to help you make an informed connection choice rather than to promise a one-size-fits-all result.

Key points

• WireGuard generally has lower protocol overhead.
• OpenVPN remains broadly supported on older systems.
• The best choice depends on the network and client support.

What to do next

Choose the option that matches your device and network, then verify the connection with the What is my IP? tool. For available connection methods, see Pow VPN downloads and setup options. You can compare plans and locations on the pricing page.

Keep the basics in mind

A VPN protects the route between your device and a VPN server. It does not replace software updates, strong passwords, careful account use or the rules that apply where you are. Test a connection on the network where you will actually use it.
