Hi,
i got a strange problem in my vpn setup.
I have an openvpn server (ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and some clients connecting to that server.
(using easyca certs).
Connection works great, even bandwith is "ok".
Before my OpenVPN setup i was using a http proxy on the server via a SSH Tunnel.
After switching to the vpn connection the http traffic via the proxy is REALLY slow.
Normal tcp connections are beeing established fast, but surfing the web via the vpn and the proxy is pain.
I tried everything i found via google.
1)Switched the proxy from tinyproxy to squid - no benefit
2) switched from tcp to udp - no benefit
3) tried several fragment/mtu settings - no benefit
4) switched from tun to tap - no benefit
Strange: when switching back to normal SSH Tunneling: It works great!
Ping times via the established tunnel are around 30ms. Seems fine!
Any ideas on how to trace that problem ?

MTU problem maybe...?

Tested 1300 and default 1500. Both the same effect :/

if you try to transfer a file (via ftp/ssh) from openvpn server to client
do you expiriencing the same speed drop?
