      Well the DD-WRT router is just a consumer-router with horrible throughput(600-800kb/s openvpn-performance) and i need at least 2mb/s.
      I currently dont got the hardware to build a new pfsense-box.

      UPDATE:
      The speed was when using openvpn on the dd-wrt-router

        So you need 2mbps, and dd-wrt does 800kbps – how is putting openvpn on a box behind dd-wrt going to fix that?

        So replace the hardware running dd-wrt on now that something can handle the bandwidth you need and then run openvpn on that.  Depending on the hardware - just run pfsense vs dd-wrt.

          The box behind the DD-WRT router is a ubuntu-server.
          The ubuntu-server got a 4-core-xeon cpu. I think this should handle the 2 mb/s

            Does not exactly matter what's behind the bottleneck. :D

              The dd-wrt-router is only the bottleneck when im running the openvpn-service on it.
              So whats your point? Or am i missing something?

              I dont want to replace the router, because i dont got the hardware
              and i dont want to spend the money just for running openvpn on it.

                I still do not get why are you running OpenVPN thru an obvious bottleneck. Make an AP from it on your LAN, stop using it as router.

                    Sigh… because you said it yourself?  As suggested by myself and other people above, move pfS where the DD-WRT is right now and use the DD-WRT router as an AP. Otherwise, since this obviously does not go anywhere - have a nice day.

                        Ok my fault. I was talking about 800kb/s throughput when running openvpn on the dd-wrt router.
                        I tought this was clear due to the advice in the previous post.
                        Thats why i want to use the ubuntu-server.
