I have OpenVPN running on a CentOS server, working well for years. Now I'm at version 2.2.2. Windows (and one Linux, and one Mac) clients - some 2.1, some 2.2 and one 2.3RC - connect smoothly.
However recently we've seen very high latency when opening MS Word or Excel documents from network shares over the OpenVPN tunnels. Opening a document can take 2-3 minutes, whereas copying the document (over the tunnel) and opening it locally is almost immediate. Other document formats (pdf, images, and *.odt or *.ods) open as expected. The problem is specific to MS Office documents. I think this has been happening since the upgrade on the server from 2.1 to 2.2, although I'm not sure. I have not made any changes to the config files.
Anyone know what might be causing this bottleneck?
Thanks,
Micha
