Server 2012 Win 7 client High ping or dropped pings

oddie121

Hi all:

I've tried different options from searching but haven't found a working solution.

I just migrated from a server 2003 r2 (with the same win 7 client Also tried a Win 8 and same result) to server 2012. My server 2012 is on VMWare ESXi on a PC running one other server. I connect fine, i work correctly however if i do any load from the client (such has heavy picture web pages or RDP session back to the server) my ping times go erratic compared to my WAN ping times. Most of the time when I RDP it'll ping OK then my RDP session will drop then results in a 1 or 2 response time out drops. When i turn up logging there doesn't seem to be anything unusual such as drops or errors etc.
While i can work ok and the response is faster than the old setup its just annoying when trying to test something in my home environment.

Server Config/setup:
Version 2.3.2 (latest community build originally installed with 2.3.1)
Firewall off
1GB LAN network
Service for network support from manual to auto with the network and sharing center opening automatically upon login.
Has to be TCP (sorry)
Tried mssfix (no change)
-----------------------------------------
port 443
tun-mtu 1500
mssfix 1300
tcp-queue-limit 256
proto tcp-server
dev tap
tls-server
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
server 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
client-to-client
keepalive 10 120
cipher BF-CBC
comp-lzo
max-clients 10
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 5
--------------------------------------

client config:
No windows firewall on
----------------------------------------
client
tun-mtu 1500
mssfix 1300
dev tap
proto tcp
remote <iphere> 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
tls-client
ca ca.crt
cert client2.crt
key client2.key
cipher BF-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 3
-------------------------------------

Router config:
Linksys running DD-WRT
Port forwarding directly to server
Also tried DMZ no change.

I'm hoping its just something dumb I'm missing.

Thanks!

Just to update, I've tried to update to I003 for 2.3.2 and haven't had any success. Any one else experiencing something with 2012 and openvpn?

So I've managed to get a bit further.

I no longer have the dropped RDP connection. Partly this was my own fault as i was using the same user i was setting up to force logon to fix the openvpn network connection from showing up. I'm testing another fix of starting the network service instead of autologon. I'll update if this works.

I still have the erratic ping times that I'm not sure what to do to fix that yet.

Thanks for this Debbie10t!
I changed it, must have been an old example file i went off of, still no change in my openVPN interface ping times vs Internet WAN ping times. OpenVPN interface is still higher even on just normal internet browsing. See the below snip.
