Hi,
I have Ubuntu 12.04 Server as a gateway to the Internet for my LAN (NAT).
Now I have a need to connect external (real IP) Windows Server 2008 R2 to my LAN, so I installed OpenVPN server onto Ubuntu and OpenVPN Client on W2008R2 machine. Direct connection speed over the Internet between the LAN and W2008R2 over the Internet is about 15/100 Mbps from/to W2008R2.
The speed between LAN and W2008R2 over OpenVPN is about 15/0.2 Mbps.
Tested by transmitting 100MB file with wget to both directions.
Playing with MTU didn't help, however I don't think there's an MTU issue because of such drastic speed difference.
I'm quite new to Linux administration, so don't know how to properly troubleshoot this situation.
Any help will be appretiated.

Seems like it was some issue with weird routing/firewall/something else.
Now I have a bit different design, still having speed issues, but they're not that critical at the moment.
