Hi,
I am trying to resolve a speed issue running open vpn on my windows 7 pc. My PC power is OK with a quad core 5 processor and 8 megs of ram. I have a 100mbps fibre plan. Internet speed tests confirm this speed. My computer is connected to the internet by an ethernet connection. I am subscribed to Vanished VPN.
Internet speed tests with Open VPN show I am getting somewhere between 1 and 3 mbps down but 9-14mbps up. I get similar results with L2PT and PPTP. So, the problem seems to be VPN generally, not just Open VPN.
In contrast I have tested Open VPN on my Samsung Tablet running through wireless only. That is showing downloads speeds of around 5mbps and uploading at around approx 2mbps.
It seems a bit strange that I would be getting better results on a lower powered machine through a wireless connection.
I would be interested in any suggestions for increasing speed.
