Skaperen the documentation for --shaper says: OpenVPN allows n to be between 100 bytes/sec and 100 Mbytes/sec. is this just a specification limit? if running on sufficirntly high power hardware, can the 100 Mbytes/sec be exceeded by just not specifying --shaper? or is it always on and set to that maximum by default?
TinCanTech I expect you can exceed the limit by not specifying an upper limit. This may give you a better picture: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Gigabit_Networks_Linux
Skaperen it may be moot for most, as these levels of performance are rarely achieved over the internet. what i am looking at this for is over the internet (region to region tunnels on AWS).
