OpenVPN - huge latency spikes every ~10minutes (wan ruled out)
-
Hello
I have two pfsense (latest version) boxes connected by openVPN. The issue is huge latency spikes/ packet loss happening every 5-10 minutes that last anywhere between 10 seconds to a minute.
So far there are no services causing traffic between this tunnel. The latency spikes happen either with traffic or no traffic.
I cant find anything in the logs. When the connection is having issues I see the openvpn status = "connected".
To rule out WAN connection problems on either side, I left the vpn client pinging 8.8.8.8 while I ping the client itself through vpn.
The wan ping is flawless, but the vpn ping shoots up sporadically.
This screenshot was a better one (lasting only 10 seconds) but they can go up to a minute sometimes.
Some communication is happening because the applications dont drop but are left "freezed" (putty ssh)
help?

my apologies.
The latency was due to a faulty internal connection on my side, which coincided to the exact minute of testing the vpn.
such is the life on IT
