I am often dependent on a high-latency GPRS link, and the overhead of establishing a tunnel using OpenVPN or SSH (e.g. sshuttle) is prohibitive. OpenVPN is very likely to timeout before it can negotiate a TLS session. This is one of the major reasons why I wrote my own VPN software[1] using NaCl. Deterministic public-key encryption means that there is no negotiation required at startup. The tunnel is therefore ready to use as soon as the program is started. To me, that's the difference between a usable connection and nothing at all. [1] https://github.com/amenonsen/tappet |
