Slow OpenPVN
-
Hi,
I've openvpn configured and as VPN Client I'm getting arround 3 Mbit's Downstream and 5 to 6Mbits upstream (Tested on speedtest).
My ISP connection is 100Mbps downstream / 20 Upstream.
Any hint to get this better?
Thanks!
PS- Tested with UDP and TCP… same thing...

and who is your vpn provider - what do they support?

Myself :)
I'm connecting to my pfsenser openvpn server where I do have 100mbit/20mbit

So your an outside client using pfsense openvpn as the server, and what connection does this remote client have - does it also have a 100/20 connection? At most you could hope for if that was the case would be max of 20/20.. Since your pfsense could only upload to your client at its max upload speed of 20.

The client has 50/50.
I'm getting speeds of 3Mbit download and 5 to 6mbit upload - client side.

well the best you could hope for is 20/20 but yeah that is a bit shoddy if your 100/20 at the server side.
Do you have net.inet.ip.fastforwarding = 1 set in your system tunables?
edit: So just did a quick test on mine. Which runs on a n40l as a vm. I have a 50/10 connection at home. So just connected with my phone through it and got 10/10 which is what you would expect since my home connection upload is only 10. So while I could upload to it a bit faster (have 30+ here on my phone via wireless), the download side on the remote client would be limited to what my server can upload at. And when I go to upload, the limit to the speed test server would also be limited by my servers upload speed.
So you when doing a speed test on something past your vpn server, your going to be hit by the upload limit both ways.
This was using udp - let my switch it to tcp and test that.

Well… A reboot solved (pfsense reboot).
Now I get good speeds :))
-
good speed as in 20/20? Or something a bit less? Using tcp or udp?
Do you have
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding = 1
set or no? -
Arround 18mbit up and down.
UDP
No other tweaks

I have one openVPN (transnational, Europe) between 16/8Mbit DSL and 100/100 MBit fibre where the maximum I get is 200-300 kBit (no joke, most time around 56 kbit, reminds me of some times very long ago ;-) ). Very frustrating latencies, apparently the NSA has only limited capacity on that route :-D
