Hello. I'm trying to set up a vpn connection with as much throughput as possible and I'm not sure which type of configuration I should be using. I was using mpd with PPTP protocol prior to this and it was not providing enough bandwidth. So I wanted to try out openvpn to see if I can get better results. Essentially what I'm trying to do is stream high def TV over a VPN. On xbox 360 there is a fios app that allows you to stream live TV if you are using a verizon fios internet connection, which the server is. Xbox has no VPN client so to connect I'm using internet connection sharing from my desktop to share the VPN connection. The server is running FreeBSD 9.1 and the client is Windows 7. The server has upstream bandwidth of 25Mbps and the client has about 15Mbps downstream. I need at least ~7-12Mbps over the vpn. The client needs to have internet access through the vpn. And to reduce overhead I want to disable encryption and compression. There should still be some type of authentication method though.
