Hello I am wondering if there is increased network/packet security by connecting to a server over ssh through a VPN hosted by that same server as opposed to without first tunneling by VPN. I imagine with or without tunneling through a VPN there would be latency/speed differences too?
VPN latency depends on tech used. OpenVPN is kinda slow and wireguard quite fast in my experience. That said, both work fine and I can’t tell the speed difference unless I actually use a ton of data (streaming 4k hd videos, or transferring gigs of files or something). Regular ssh, I can’t tell a difference.
Thank you
