What is your favorite open source Vpn?
There’s really only two players, OpenVPN and Wireguard. The former is older and more feature-rich while the latter is more performant but lacks things like TCP mode.
What TCP mode is ? And is it important ? Thanks

TCP is a network transfer protocol, a scheme by which data packets are exchanged over a network.
In this context it can be important if you are trying to connect from a network that restricts UDP traffic. UDP is the default network protocol for OpenVPN and the only one for Wireguard. A firewall that restricts all traffic but TCP on port 80 and 443 (i.e. “You’re allowed to surf the web via browser, nothing else”) will also inevitably block all Wireguard traffic, for example.
Ohhh I see ! Thanks a lot of the explantation
