Weird slow OpenVpn connection
-
@Gertjan No pretty much everything should still be standard except firewall rules And Nat port forwarding!

I know it sounds strange, but try changing from UDP to TCP.
I have found that the very same OpenVPN tunnel on TCP works faster than UDP. I know it's supposed to be the other way around, but my real world experience has consistently been the opposite.
Alternatively, you might have an MTU issue. Either way, TCP may paradoxically speed things up.

@Decepticon I am already running on TCP!
This is the nic I use for wan and lan!

@Decepticon I also tried UDP Protocol and exact the same speed as TCP!

In that case, I don't know. My personal view is that pfSense makes OpenVPN much more complicated than it needs to be. Ideally, I'd just paste my OpenVPN configuration file into a field and it would work. Instead, pfSense breaks all the options into separate entries on a webpage. It may be that in one of those many options, you've changed something. Or it may be that your new hardware is just less capable than your old one when it comes to OpenVPN.
My best recommendation is to use Wireguard, which is way faster than OpenVPN. The implementation in pfSense is much easier to map to a configuration file.

@Decepticon Ok I’ll check it out thanks!
I also did a run from my computer and from 550up I went down to 50up that’s pretty interesting so it’s not the mobile network 5g connection that is the problem!

@Decepticon I found the issue I watched a second tutorial and saw that he didn’t use TCP and IPV6 on all interfaces (multidimensional) instead he used only TCP on IPv4 only! And that speeds up to the speed it should be!

I'm glad that my suggestions pointed you in the right direction!

@Decepticon yup thanks!
