[ale] [ALE] So the winner is?

I've got an RPi 3 as my personal VPN server and it works just fine.  The 
setup time to establish the tunnel is a little slow but once it's up it 
moves right along with almost no load.  Now if you meant a VPN server 
for a large user base then I would agree with that.
