Traffic on VPN cuts off large downloads

jmunoz

We have an application hosted on a server inside the VPN. The client is 285MB and when trying to install it cuts off between 10 and 40MB. Never the same but none of the clients can ever complete the install.

Also when we try and RDC into that server through the VPN we can work for a minute and then the connection locks up and eventually RDC attempts to reconnect and we can work again for another minute.

I've tried the OpenVPN server using NAT and ROUTED modes but both exhibit the same results.

I can ping the server consistently, even during the times that the downloads freeze, the ping continues.

My configuration is basically,

VPN Clients 172.26.224.0/20
OpenVPN server
-Public IP x.x.x.x
-Private IP 10.40.0.115
DataCenter Router 10.40.0.0/24

Devices inside the 10.40.0.0 network are able to reach the server and download completely.
Networks that route through the datacenter router are also able to reach the server and download completely.

It's only when they go through VPN that we experience the problem.

Any suggestions what I may be doing wrong?
