You may want to migrate away from openvpn with hardware acceleration. It’s my understanding that the type of hardware built to accelerate openvpn uses older crypto processes that are not hardened against parallelization or quantum.
Quantum is fake but parallelization is absolutely not and once it becomes more profitable to pop hashes than to do erp with racks of dgxs people are gonna do it.

Honestly, I don’t really care about that. Yes it uses quantum-sensitive protocols like AES but honestly, who with a quantum computer is either going to: Record all my traffic to decode it 10 years later, knowing they will also have to break SSL on top of that! Already has a quantum computer right now meaning they are the NSA and if they wanna spy on me they are going to anyway For my threat model, post-quantum just isn’t important right now especially in my VPN use which is already low-importance stuff. The only reason I use the VPN is to do torrents really. If they want to grab a few torrenters and make an example out of them it’s much easier to grab a few that are not using any VPN.
