I tried compression levels 0,1,9,10 and 1,9 did slow down transmission by 20-40% (360Mbps to 250-300Mbps), 0,10 were about the same. I do not think compression could greatly benefit me, as most transmitted data will already be compressed.
If tinc is not fast enough, I was thinking about using a second VPN like wireguard point-to-point between each server where possible (even an SSH tunnel would get nice performance). Tinc is still great for stability and robustness (as long as I have one server with public IP working, the network works as a whole), so I intend to keep it for administrative and similar low-bandwith tasks. If anyone has experience using tinc over 10Gbps or even 1Gbps networks with at least 1Gbps performance, I would still very much like to hear about it (I read some claim about being able to saturate an 1Gb link on this mailing list). Also, my question about the stability of tinc 1.1 still stands. Is it ready for production?
