        So it seems that even with limiters.
        when i go on VPN on another machine bufferbloat goes up to D rating

        when my wife also goes on vpn thats when we hit the 2000's for bufferbloat.

        this is really annoying.

              So vpn inside another vpn? Yeah not very useful if what your after is performance ;)

              If your adamant about wanting to use vpn on your network - prob good idea to policy route at least her connection to not use your default vpn.. When she is connecting to hers

                    @johnpoz its ok i wrote it kinda wonky .

                    so im at the point where i have no clue whats going on.
                    After the last 2 reboots now my thermal sensors dont populate at all and sits on updating.

                    I feel like maybe this box needs a full rebuild.

                    Just odd that when i have 2 seperate vpns running i then get crazy bufferbloat and the network turns sluggish. turn 1 vpn off then its better .

                      I don't have a source, sorry, but I'm pretty sure I've seen other posts about that and I want to say there is a fix that can be applied. Alternately 2.5.1 should be out shortly (days to weeks, sounds like).

                      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
