OpenVPN Speed

guesty1234

Hi there,

I have just setup an OpenVPN server using the following guide:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
It all works perfectly apart from i can't seem to get above 50mbps on any of my devices. I have a 150mbps+ line and would really like to get as much as possible as i can out of it.
Here are my server config:

port 443
proto tcp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh2048.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220"
duplicate-cn
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3

And here is my client config:

client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote *my vpn server*
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
http-proxy *my proxy settings*
<ca>
</ca>
<cert>
</cert>
<key>
</key>
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3

Any help would be much appreciated!

Code:
port 443
proto tcp

TCP is much slower than UDP.

Oh dear, i have to go through a HTTP proxy so i have to use TCP. Is there anything else i can do?

Thanks,
