Super Slow Download Speed with pfSense in AWS (using AWS Marketplace Image)
-
Hi Everyone,
I have stood up a pfsense as our vpn concentration for our AWS env with almost all default settings. No traffic shaper enabled...so I'm kinda at a lost.
From new AWS vpn:
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from Amazon.com (3.208.38.204)... Retrieving speedtest.net server list... Selecting best server based on ping... Hosted by Shentel Service Company (Ashburn, VA) [0.98 km]: 214.422 ms Testing download speed................................................................................

From cyberverse vpn (datacenter):

(From the spectrum connection I’m on in Santa Ana with no VPN):
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from Spectrum (23.242.57.248)... Retrieving speedtest.net server list... Selecting best server based on ping...

On the pfsense box with fetch
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@vpn.corp.40i.fi]/root: fetch -o /dev/null http://download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 8856 kBps 00m12s [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@vpn.corp.40i.fi]/root:
Also to add, this is openvpn over tcp. If I switch over to using UDP ipv4 only
I get a slightly better connectionspeedtest-cli Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from Amazon.com (3.208.38.204)... Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
