OpenWRT - NanoPi R5S Performance Test (NAT, OpenVPN & Wireguard VPN)

In this video, I am going to check out the NanoPi R5S's performance with FriendlyWRT (a folk of OpenWRT). The WAN port (eth0) of the R5S is only 1Gbps; therefore, I have configured the LAN1 as a WAN port, in order to do the test with all 2.5G Ethernet.
Before running the test, the NanoPi R5S's firmware was updated to the newest version, which was uploaded on August 3, 2022. The test consits of WAN to LAN, OpenVPN and Wireguard VPN throughput tests.
