      @jmartinelli, Pfsense Is Clint Or OpenVPN Server?

      don't forget, that your side and side speed must be 900Mbps

            @jmartinelli,
            So before using the OPENNVPN It has 900 Mbps And when it connects it only has 50Mbps (can you test your speed on the pfsense side too?

            Example: I have 100 Mbps and my vpn client has 500 Mbps When it connects to my pfsense via OPENVPN (And Measures its speed it has a maximum of 100 Mbps because obviously it is the maximum that I can offer you.

            now do you understand me?

              @silence I do understand - on my home network with no VPN, I'm getting 400/22 for D/U. When I connect to the VPN at work I'm getting 50 max. The ISP line at work is 1 GB D/U - I'm thinking that the issue is with the OpenVPN config on Pfsense - below is the config file any issues here?

              dev tun
              persist-tun
              persist-key
              cipher AES-256-CBC
              ncp-disable
              auth SHA256
              tls-client
              client
              resolv-retry infinite
              remote xx.xx.xx.xx 11940 udp4
              lport 0
              comp-lzo no
              verify-x509-name "pfsense-vpn.mycorp.com" name
              auth-user-pass
              remote-cert-tls server
              reneg-sec 0

                      @silence how much improvement would that do to the throughput?

                        not much but it improves.

                        If you really want speed, try wireguard

                          @silence I thought that wiregard was dropped from pfsense support (i.e; no longer supported)
