Speed issue

Garf

Im having a setup with one road warrior to our office. He is reporting some speed problems. Found in the OpenVPN log that its seems that he is logging in and out all the time, or is this normal. Something to have with the speed problem? I have tested the speed from my home with no problems and he have the same dowload/upload speed (or even faster).

I don't normally see that. How are the OpenVPN server and client configured?

Garf

Protocol: UDP
Local port: 1194
Adress pool: 192.168.254.0/24
Local network: 192.168.123.0/24
Cryptography: BF-CBC (128-bit)
Authentication method: PKI
DHCP-Opt.: DNS-Server: 192.168.123.10
DHCP-Opt.: WINS-Server: 192.168.123.10
LZO compression: ticked

All other options is unticked.

Here is the client:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote office.com 1194
ping 10
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert user1.crt
key user1.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
pull
verb 3

offtopic (or maybe ontopic): What should the "DHCP-Opt.: NetBIOS node type" be in my configuration? Yes im using NetBIOS.

Cry Havok

Seems ok, certainly not worlds apart from my own config which does work fine.

It would be good to check:

Is it only this person
Is it only that remote location

as it's probably either networking related or a problem with that individual client.
