I'm requesting for some help with my open vpn setup. I used https://github.com/jlund/streisand to set up an openvpn server on an aws instance on a t2.micro instance. I have a pfsense router that has an openvpn client to connect to the server.
All the routing works and I can access everything I expect. My problem is that the speed is more of a degrade than I expected. My speeds without the vpn is 100/100, but when the vpn is connected, I get 50-60/90. The upload speed is acceptable, but I'm confused why the download is degraded by 50%.
- * I'm using tcp and aes-256 encryption.
* I checked the cpu on both client and server during the speed tests and they never go above 10% so it's not a problem with the encryption.
* Server is running version 2.4.1 and client is 2.3.14
