LinuxQuestions.org - Tweaking the spedd of OpenVPN, help needed.

Hi! [edit: speed isn't spelled spedd :/ ]

I have an issue where some employees with an assymetric connection, are complaining about horrible speeds using the OpenVPN I've set up.

Now everything is working fine for me as a OpenVPN-client and I'm on a 100/100Mbps fiber connection, the employees are all on 30/10Mbps DSL connections. The OpenVPN-server is on a 50/20Mbps DSL connection.
(100/100 would mean 100Mbps downstream and 100Mbps upstream)

I've read some about OpenVPN being slow with assymetric connections, and I'm trying to find a way to improve our situation.

This post; http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-d.../msg00001.html
talks about the differences between a tcp and udp based OpenVPN. His conclusion is that tcp is faster, and I'm wondering what your experiences are.

As of today I have a very generic setup.
Server config:

Code:

up "process -p OpenVPN.exe High"

local 10.10.10.6

port 1194

proto udp

dev tap

dev-node OpenVPN

ca ca.crt

cert server.crt

key server.key

dh dh1024.pem

ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt

server-bridge 10.10.10.150 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.151 10.10.10.200

push "dhcp-option DNS 10.10.10.6"

push "dhcp-option WINS 10.10.10.6"

keepalive 10 120

comp-lzo

persist-key

persist-tun

status openvpn-status.log

verb 3

And my client config:

Code:

client

dev tap

dev-node OpenVPN

proto udp

remote remote-domain 1194

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-tun

mute-replay-warnings

ca ca.crt

cert client1.crt

key client1.key

ns-cert-type server

comp-lzo

verb 3

Thank you!
