Okay, thanks for the update. I didn't know there is a GUI for OpenVPN. 
One thing especially I don't like about OpenVPN is how chatty it is. 
Sending those keeplive packets all the time. I don't seem to need the 
keepalive packets with Wireguard.

Also I'm not as tech oriented as you folks who do it for a living 
(hobby here) so ferreting out the intricasies of the likes of OpenVPN 
an IPsec are a bit out of my reach (or take me weeks).
