pfSense Client VPN Slow Speed

[chrisjmuk]

Hello,

I am using a pfsense as a home firewall and connected to a remote vpn using a remote vpn provider, when i run the software i get 100Mbps + no problem, when i go via the pfsense openvp client im getting 60Mbps so around a 40% loss on speed

I have these in my custom settings

I am using UDP port 53, also tried other ports and made no difference

tls-client;
remote-random;
tun-mtu 1500;
tun-mtu-extra 32;
mssfix 1400;
persist-key;
persist-tun;
reneg-sec 0;
remote-cert-tls server;

I have attached a screenshot - removed sensitive details.

Does any one have any advice to increase speed?

Thank You.

@chrisjmuk

my first suggestion is turn off compression
turn buffer down. 512k perhaps

try a few other servers to see if that particular one is overloaded

@bcruze Thank you, made no difference in speed though. CPU is fine on the host as well.
