As I wrote in another reply, for each problem and each admin there
is a different solution. The RB750Gr3 runs IPsec at >450Mbit/s which
is enough for most users. Do not use OpenVPN on these devices,
use L2TP/IPsec or GRE/IPsec.
I am currently in mail exchange with someone who wants to configure
AMPRnet access on a VPS using standard Linux software. Easy peasy
when you ask me, but it is a nightmare to get someone going who
has no Linux admin skills at all and is only cutting/pasting error messages
all the time, and not really reading the directions or able to debug things
without constant hand-helding. With a MikroTik he would be going,
with the Linux system he is only whining and complaining.
(but others get it working after only a single message with some hints)
Read back in the 44Net mail archives and you can see the same discussion
over and over, so I think this is enough for now.

I'll add a comment here, since I've used the
RB750G gear and RPi boards
extensively as routers. I *highly* recommend the RPi4B! The difference in
SoC processing power is massive, when crunching crypto for VPNs, enough
RAM for BGP and other system services, etc. There are many OS/distro
sources available and the very latest software version are only a few
clicks away.
Also, MikroTik support for OpenVPN is seriously lacking--beyond the
concern for simply having crummy data thru-put due to crypto processing
overhead. I've got several RB750G routers, they're all sitting on the
shelf, these days.
