How to Stress Test the open vpn server

avaz@wnb.com.br

Hello everyone

I am trying to prepare a case for an OpenVPN server, but it does not yet found a way to make a stress test at least 5000 clients.

Currently we have two OpenVPN servers with 1000 customers in each, but the project is to expand to 5,000 customers, however I would like to simulate it.

Thanks for All.

I am not at all sure how to simulate that much load.

I also wouldn't recommend doing that much load on a single OpenVPN server instance. Really would not.

Hello Douglas,

Currently I have two servers with 1000 customers, searched the web and I think I found a way.

I use the Amazon EC2 to simulate customers need and try to create some 4000 instances on EC2 for testing.

I am afraid that the parameters of FD Descriptor and tuning of TCP that set do not support the 5000 customers, currently already have problems with syn flood in the kernel machines with 1000 customers

Thanks

I would never recommend that many users on a single server in production let alone in testing.
