OpenVPN Data Channel Offload in the Linux kernel


Unspecified

This package contains a linux kernel module implementing the data channel of the OpenVPN protocol in the linux kernel.

This kernel module allows OpenVPN to offload any data plane management to the linux kernel, thus allowing it to exploit any Linux low level API, while avoiding expensive and slow payload transfer between kernel space and user space.

LIMITATIONS

  • Only AEAD mode and 'none' (with no auth) supported
  • Only AES-GCM and CHACHA20POLY1305 ciphers supported
