          @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)
