OpenVPN - Internet Browsing slowed down

inzanez

Hi

I've just set up an OpenVPN Server. Everything works great, speed is great, no issues. But: Our users claim that "Browsing the Internet" is more responsive when they are not connected to the VPN. I can't find no explanation for this, as only VPN specific traffic goes through the tunnel, everything else (Internet traffic) is not routed through the VPN.

VPN does have an own DNS server (internal one) of course, but I guess that DNS server will be picked depending on the gateway? So Internet traffic will use the DNS servers listed for the interface "LAN/eth0/whatever" and not the DNS servers from the TAP interface,...

Any idea if I missed something?

Regards
