WireGuard Performance with a Pi Zero (2019)


I haven't been able to find many Pi Zero benchmarks with using Wireguard, so I thought I would take a shot at compiling some of my own.

This is me using tmux to access the Debian VM on top and the Pi Zero on bottom to keep an eye on CPU utilization while performing these tests. Now I’ll head to my Pi and turn WireGuard on as a server, and enable it on my Debian VM and try iperf again: Now for some internet speed tests for fun, I downloaded the speedtest-cli binary and ran it both with and without WireGuard from my Debian VM, and also directly from the Pi Zero (both are running Python 2.7.13).
