Hello everybody,
I managed to configure a OPVN bridge server for my office but there is something strange going on. I read that using proto UDP should be faster then TCP. It is partially that way for me. At the office I have a 10mbps symmetrical internet connection and at home where I am connecting from I have a 16x1mbps connection.
Here is what happens:
When I get the server to use UDP the speed test against the office's ISP runs at ~9mbps download (over the VPN). I have a few local web servers at the office. Accessing those web servers works fine (fast) for a minute or two and then the web servers stop responding. The web browser just sits there waiting. If I load any other external (out of the office LAN) web page works fine anytime.
When I switch to TCP, both local and external web pages load fine, but the speed test against the ISP is around 5mbps.
I tried to use the fragment option but it did not help.
Has anyone encountered this situation before? I want to mention also that the OVPN server is running on Ubuntu 10.04 as a VM on ESXi 5.0. The OVPN Client is installed on a Windows 7 machine.
I will appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.
