Hi,

If there is a need to tunnel between two vyos, what is the recommended protocol to use that provides the best outcome.

Thanks,

I’d suggest either IPSEC or Wireguard as they both do most of their processing in kernel mode and thus don’t have the overhead of context switches like OpenVPN.

A cleartext tunnel such as VXLAN or similar should be more efficient unless you need the encryption that ipsec and wireguard brings you.

Definitely wireguard since it implements with udp connection, and it works in Linux kernel.
