Upstream very low compared with downstream traffic with OpenVPN Client.

Assuming the Client is at a remote location, maybe the client VPN software is limiting the speed ?

Hi @pwood999

I think that no because OpenVPN Client is installed by default and I think that isn't limited in any direction.

So to be clear you're seeing the same throughput when connecting via either WAN?

Hi @stephenw10

I don't understand the question.

If the Server has 250Mb/250Mb. and the Client side has 300Mb/300Mb then the issue must be either server or client performance, unless you have some other limiters configured.

Hi @pwood999

This is clear, but what can I do?. This is the question...

Do I need to change any OVPN parameter?

No, I haven't configured any limiter on any side.

You showed two connection cases, connecting via WAN1 or connecting via WAN2.

Do you see the same throughput restriction in both cases?

What hardware are your HA PfSense pair running on ?
Are you using physical or virtual machines ?
What CPU & OS does the client PC use ?

Might be worth posting your OpenVPN configs (excluding public IP & secrets).

Also maybe this thread should be moved to OpenVPN forum ?

Hi @stephenw10

Yes, I see the same.

Hi @pwood999

I am using two physical machines Supermicro SuperServer 5018D-FN8T.

The Client is a I5 with UBUNTU 18.04LTS.

Can you tell me where is the text OpenVPN Server config file in pfSense?

Regards and thanks

The info you entered on the GUI config is used to create this OpenVPN server config file(s).
So, you know what's in it ;) Bcause you entered that info - or accepted default values.

Look here :

/var/etc/openvpn/

You'll find serverx.* files where x is the OpenVPN server number, typically 1.
