      Hello,
      i hope i can get some help here.

      what i'm trying to do:
      my pfsense (2.2 RC) is working as a road-warrior.
      So i connect 2 Systems via VPN on the Pfsense.
      The connection between this systems is around 50-60Mbits, which isn't exactly fast, but okay.
      I'm now routing some connections from pfsense to another VPN (a provider or my own server- it doesn't matter)
      this connection (where pfsense is the client) is very slow.
      The Best results i can get is around 5Mbits each when i use the VPN-Provider
      or 2Mbit / 10 Mbit (down / up) when i'm using my own server.
      normally i won't get more than 1.5 Mbits.

      looking at the OpenvPN-Server (Debian 7, OVPN from the rep) the load isn't really worth meantioning.
      Loading files from and to my OPenVPN-Server it will show me a full 100Mbit

      what i have done:
      disabled compression
      disabled cypher
      messed around with mssfix, mtu-tun etc.
      activated fastforward on the settings

      any new ideas?

        Hello,
        I have the same problem.

        Very powerfull pfSense-server with OpenVPN. I have gigabit internet Connection on both server and client, but I only reach speed @ 350kb/sec.

          this thread is from Jan 2015…

          I doubt the OP is still having a problem..

          You reach 350kb doing what??  and is that really kb or KB?

          You trying to do SMB file copy over a high latency connection?  Yeah its going to BLOW...
