        Isn't OpenVPN still single threaded? I supposed encryption levels could enter into the equation. too. What's the CPU load like when on OpenVPN?

          @provels CPU load minimum, but even on interface with OpenVPN have a speed 500/500 . Lan have download only about 250/300. LAN do not use OpenVPN. If OPenVPN clients switched off LAN have almost 1gb up/down

              Hmm, I'm unclear what the situation here is.

              Your config doesn't look like any LAN traffic would be using a VPN anyway?

              Are you saying that the slow downloads are over the VPN tunnel?

                @stephenw10 Negative, with vpn clients ON , the interface whom do not use any VPN, speed test show low download speed. When clients is OFF , interface without VPN speed is OK. Looks like problem with routing. Is it a bug?

                When stop services OpenVPN, LAN speed become as should be 1gb up/down

                    Very strength, if make a firewall rule to reject routing to VPN gateway on LAN( this interface DO NOT use OpenVPN) lost internet connection. IDK why, but pfsense thinking that LAN also going over OpenVPN gateway, but FORCE set to going over ISP gateway!

                      You do have the System default gateway set to automatic so that may switch to the VPN when it connects. Try setting the default gateway to WANGW.

                          So is any other traffic going over the VPN when they are enabled?

                          When the VPN is not enabled do you see full download speeds from the firewall itself?

                            @stephenw10 Idk, how to explain better. I will try, looks like all traffic going over VPN, if even not all interfaces use vpn. Routing all traffic over VPN gateway by my opinion. Pfsense routing over WAN do not see or not working. When i switch off vpn client and measuring speed on interface whom not belong routing to vpn gateway internet speed become normal. When i switch on vpn client and measuring speed on interface whom not belong to vpn gateway speed become like me using vpn here.

                              Do you have the OpenVPN client set to pull a default route?

                              Check the routing table.

                                    Hmm, hard to see how that would carry any traffic.

                                    Are you actually seeing traffic on the VPN interface when you run speedtest?

                                      @stephenw10 Do you mean, run speed test on non vpn interface and check vpn gateway traffic?

                                        Yes, run a test that's showing limited download speeds. Look at the traffic graphs and check if it's using the VPN.
