Asymmetrical OpenVPN speeds
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2018 8:34 pm
(Note: I'm connecting over AT&T fiber infrastructure with 1 Gbps service, which is why I'm using OpenVPN.)
I was wondering if there were any download/upload speed limits set by Sonic's OpenVPN server. The reason why is as follows: I'm connecting from a pfSense box and a speed test yields a download speed of around 350 Mbps on average and an upload speed of around 150 Mbps on average. Now, I obviously wasn't going to get full 1 Gbps speeds while running OpenVPN on pfSense, so the "slowdown" isn't the problem. Instead, the issue that I can't quite figure out is why I'm getting asymmetrical OpenVPN speeds on a symmetrical Gigabit connection (pfSense gives me virtually the full 1 Gbps both ways when not running OpenVPN).
I've checked my pfSense config inside out and everything seems to be OK, so asking about the server was the next natural step...
