Abstract

The aim of the study was to check the performance of the set-up internet connection using the three VPN protocols: Wireguard, OpenVPN and L2TP / IPSec. The Docker applications were used for the tests, on which the VPN server configuration file was launched. The containers were running on the Amazon server. The tests were performed on a laptop and a virtual machine with Windows 10 Pro. The virtual machine has been run in the Microsoft Azure cloud. The next step was to launch three docker containers and start performance tests using three tools: ping command, Speedtest-cli and Iperf3. The result of the research is the analysis of the measurement results and drawing conclusions.
