In this video, I am going to install OpenWrt on the Raspberry Pi 5. After that, let's have some performance tests, including WAN to LAN throughput with OpenSpeedTest and iPerf3, OpenVPN and Wireguard VPN throughput.
Since the Raspberry Pi 5 only has 1 x Ethernet port, I used the D-Link DUB-1312 USB to Ethernet adapter as the WAN port. The onboard Ethernet port was configured as LAN.
