The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

limitations of Openvpn CE?
We also back several OpenVPN related drivers, such as tap-windows6 driver, ovpn-dco-win driver, ovpn-dco linux kernel module. The tap-windows6 driver is the old Windows driver, which gives a pretty basic tun/tap interface. The DCO drivers are the next generation drivers, where more of the cryptographic operations are moved into the OS kernel instead of happening inside the OpenVPN Core components; which has the potential to improve the tunnel performance.

WireGuard is now Out of Beta, Finally !!
My point is ... if the OpenVPN server is correctly configured, it can perform quite well compared against its competitors. If you're running Linux, the openvpn3-linux client also supports DCO (OpenVPN kernel data-channel off-loading) now. There is also work happening on a Windows driver as well. How much performance boost DCO gives against ProtonVPN is unclear, but against OpenVPN Cloud (which also has kernel acceleration on the server side) it can improve the performance if your network link to the OpenVPN Cloud servers is good enough. OpenVPN 2.6 will come with DCO support for both client and server side too.

NSA on VPN solutions: use only IKE/IPsec
All that said, with the work being done in OpenVPN with the Data Channel Offload (DCO), it would probably be easier to get hardware support. The DCO implementations (ovpn-dco, ovpn-dco-win) offloads the data channel crypto operations to the virtual network driver, so the encryption/decryption/packet authentication happens entirely in the kernel space - which results in a noticeable performance boost. The tasks these DCO drivers does should be possible to more easily implement inside some dedicated hardware. But it won't be cheap.

In addition we back several other open source projects, such as the OpenVPN GUI, OpenVPN for Android and OpenVPN 3 Linux ... these all provide various user interfaces on top of the OpenVPN Core component.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ovpn-dco-win and openvpn3-linux you can also consider the following projects:
openvpn3 - OpenVPN 3 is a C++ class library that implements the functionality of an OpenVPN client, and is protocol-compatible with the OpenVPN 2.x branch.
openvpn-gui - OpenVPN GUI is a graphical frontend for OpenVPN running on Windows 7 / 8 / 10. It creates an icon in the notification area from which you can control OpenVPN to start/stop your VPN tunnels, view the log and do other useful things.
tap-windows6 - Windows TAP driver (NDIS 6)

ovpn-dco
ics-openvpn - OpenVPN for Android
OpenVPN - OpenVPN is an open source VPN daemon
