Did a speed test from speedtest.net and sonics speed test and I'm humming along at 35-40 Mbs. dslreports.com shows about 20 Mbs, where I used to get about 22 Mbs without openvpn.
I'm more inclined to think the dslreports speed test is correct and there must be a flash bug or inaccuricies.
By any chance you can share your DD-WRT settings and what router is it? My initial testing with DD-WRT on a WNDR3700v2 I got hit with a pretty large speed penalty so I am wondering iif it's a setting I may have overlooked or hardware.
I've got a costco netgear router. The AC1450, had to do a little research to get the appropriate dd-wrt files to flash it to.
Assuming you logged into the sonice beta vpn site and downloaded your credentials (should be in client.ovpn file). Open it with notepad to get your keys.
Here's my settings:
In dd-wrt-----
Go to services, then VPN then select "Start Openvpm Client" Enable.

rtrinh posted this link earlier in this thread on page 1 to decipher your client.ovpn file:
https://www.expressvpn.com/tutorials/dd ... rs_openvpn
You'll need to fill out:
TLS Auth Key
CA Cert
Public Client Cert
Private Client Key
Leave the other blocks empty.
Select "Save" at the bottom.
Then select "Apply Settings".
Then you can go to the top tab and select "Status", then "OpenVpn".
The blocks below should be propagated with local and remote address.
Then if you want go to IPchicken and check your IP address.
Hope that helps.
