I’ve been using a pi3 for about a year as a full time VPN on my cell phone and laptops.

3 is only 100mbit eth, but I’ve had almost no issues with it. Connects fast, no problem streaming HD video or cloning huge git repos. Maybe when I get home today I’ll take some measurements.... But my biggest issue is the trash Powerline Ethernet between my router and rest of my network.

I have issues with my wireless signal just crapping out from out of nowhere from time to time. Usually in specific spots in my home. I setup a repeater (thinking a mesh network might be the better choice, but this was a much cheaper temporary solution) but it still sometimes happens. The ethernet is fine on the other hand.

I run OpenHAB and Pi-Hole all on a RPi3 on ethernet, no issues so far.
