Actually, after I sent this, another thought came to mind - so David
has a point :-)
Comparing
iperf3 --tcp without VPN
iperf3 --udp without VPN
iperf3 --tcp with VPN
iperf3 --udp with VPN
is relevant, because it can show if your ISP is rate-limiting UDP traffic
(thus killing OpenVPN performance). A number of them do so here in
Germany, which is very annoying.
