      Hi all,

      Just a quick question. My openvpn logs are being spammed with```
      Nov 6 19:14:04 openvpn 15702 Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #165024 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings

      
I am not sure what this means. I have looked it up on both PIA forums and Pfsense forums some people say ignore others say it's an attack?

When using the windows PIA cliet I get around 80/30 but when using the pfsense openvpn I get 30/10, is this something to do with above?

I am on verbos level 3.

If you need any more info just ask :)

Any help would be appreciated.

        Are yo using a tcp or udp connection?

        You will not get full speeds unless you use udp

          I am using UDP, currently I have disabled the vpn and am using the windows client.

          Would really like to use pfsense as I have more than one machine that I would like to vpn.

          As I said above if anyone needs any more info just ask.
