        @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)
