OpenVPN on another server

[jonnytabpni]

Hi folks,

I was trying to set up OpenVPN on another server on my LAN.

I did the correct port forwarding and static rules etc…

In terms of connecting and pinging, everything works fine, however if I try and do a file transfer(over http), the downloads will barly start!

I have tried multiple different openvpn servers (windows, linux, physical and virtual) and all of the are doing the same thing.

The only thing that seems to work 100% is when I use pfsense as my openvpn server (which works very well!)

Any ideas what could be happening? The only thing that I can see in common here is that pfsense's port forwarding is breaking the openvpn packets going/coming from the server (but this does sound really far fetched doesn't it?)

Cheers

Are you using TCP or UDP for your OpenVPN server?  TCP over TCP has known performance problems.

I've tried both - still the same
