Is VPN for Dedi Servers A good idea?

I heard proxies vrs VPN, but not really sure if VPN is a good fit on A dedicated server? I heard it slows down the server and speed quiet a bit.

Not sure, does anyone have any idea on that? I am just new to all of this.

Thanks

What are you going to use it for?

it depends on what you want to use it for bro.

Like the others have said, what will you be doing with it?

To be honest, as far as I can see OpenVPN and proxies such as Squid have a little overhead but nothing that will slow down a proxy. The speed, if you are just using its a VPN won't matter.

Even bandwidth wise, the connection from your computer to the server will be the bottleneck. Server connections are a lot better than your internet connection so that won't slow anything down either.

Its a bit of a vague question you asked to be honest

Thanks, I will be using it for GSA SER.

OpenVPN won't slow you down at all. I was worried about something similar, but honestly I can't even tell it's there. There might be a difference amongst providers, but I can't say that I've noticed any sort of latency issues like I feared at all. On the other hand, proxies would probably be much easier to use. If you're using it with GSA it'll be a lot easier to just load a list of proxies, instead of trying to sign on and off of your VPN everytime you want a new IP. I'm not terribly familiar with GSA though, so if it has a way to work directly with a VPN then that may not be an issue.

An affordable dedicated server with a great network will perform great. OpenVPN is great for a quick connection with minimal latency overhead.
