Official requirements
Only plans with at least 512 MB RAM are listed. The figures below come from each project's own documentation.
| Software | Minimum RAM | Recommended RAM | CPU | Disk | Runs on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WireGuard | not published | — | not published | not published | Linux, Windows |
| OpenVPN Access Server | 1 GB | — | not published | 16 GB | Linux, Docker |
WireGuard: The WireGuard project publishes no CPU, RAM or disk minimums and describes it as suitable for anything from smartphones to backbone routers. It ships in the Linux kernel (kernels older than 5.6 use a DKMS or backport module) and has official builds for Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2016-2025, macOS, BSD, iOS and Android.
OpenVPN Access Server: Access Server is supported on 64-bit Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04 LTS (x86_64 and ARM64), Debian 12/13 and RHEL 8-10, and on Windows only through Hyper-V or Docker Desktop with a Linux guest. OpenVPN advises starting with 1 GB RAM plus 1 GB per 150 connected devices, about 16 GB of disk, and roughly 12 MHz of CPU per 1 Mbps of VPN traffic with AES-NI (four times that without), so a 4-core 3 GHz CPU handles about 1,000 Mbps. A server allows 2,048 connections by default, and OpenVPN recommends keeping it under 1,000.
