Description

# VPN_TEST

This release introduces the initial version of the VPN testing automation tool. The key features and capabilities include:

Features

    Automated VPN Performance Testing:
        Python measures throughput (TCP/UDP) using iperf3.
        Captures latency using ping tests.
        Monitors CPU and memory usage during tests.

    Network Simulation:
        Python simulates high-latency and packet-loss conditions using tc.

    Data Analysis & Visualization:
        R generates detailed bar plots comparing WireGuard and OpenVPN performance metrics.
        Visualizations include throughput, latency, CPU usage, and memory usage.

Improvements

    Provides repeatable and consistent test setups with configurable parameters.
    Ensures more detailed result saving for deeper analysis.

Usage

    Run the tests for WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols and visualize performance comparisons
    Ideal for benchmarking VPN protocols under varying network conditions.
