    Question: Are openvpn CA keys generated on first boot?

    Hello guys, Title says all. So, after flashing a new build I noticed I have new CA\Server Keys in OpenVPN, so, the router doesn't keep the previous keys. My question here is, are these new keys built-in the new ROM image, or are they generated in first boot, and unique per each device? Thanks

    VPN Performance by Core Assignment

    Does the version of Wireguard that runs on Asus AX routers use one or multiple cores ? If two VPNs (OpenVPN or Wireguard) were in use at the same time on an Asus AX router, would the performance be remarkably different on an RT-AX68U versus an RT-AX86U ?
