Temporarily high pings because of printer drivers and spooler service

snugger

Hi,

using OpenVPN 2.5.0 I noticed some problems with temporarily high pings at some OpenVPN clients like:

48 ms
47 ms
47 ms
1896 ms <=== !!!
2993 ms <=== !!!
46 ms
47 ms
47 ms

Sometimes there is also a timeout.

This happened at only some OpenVPN clients. After a lot of intensive system analysis, I found out two reasons in my case:

1.) At one client I had to deinstall the Brother printer suite.
2.) At another client I had to stop the windows spooler service (net stop spooler).

Because Nr. 2 works but is not the best way, maybe there is a better solution? Thanks 😉

You are not using Openvpn-Connect (Windows).

Sorry, my mistake. You are right. I now realize that I am using "OpenVPN 2.5.0".

Is`nt there also a forum for this edition?

Thanks

I would say, in this case, "Off-Topic" ..

If your printer drivers are interfering with your network then ...

I found out that it is not necessary to stop the spooler service.

I deleted all of my TCP/IP-printers manually in Windows system by rightclick and "delete" and to install them again via TCP/IP.

This seems to fix this problem.

But I generally wonder about the context of OpenVPN and printers...

What context ?

Networks and Operating systems are complex and it sounds like yours got confused ..

Yes of course there is a problem, and this is why I started this topic. The network generally is okay, there must be a problem with the win10-system of the openVPN client which is a laptop.

I found out in 2 cases the PINGs are okay:

1.) Starting the client in windows safe mode with network drivers. The problem is that RDP (mstsc) is not working in safe mode so this is no solution.

2.) The companies network printers have ALL to be ACTIVE connected to the network. None of them is allowed to be turned off which we do in the evening after work. If only one of them is turned off, the pings are already high through OpenVPN. I think this is weird.

The first 30-40 pings after establishing the OpenVPN-connection are okay and then the first high pings occur.

Any technical information is very welcome.

Thanks

Only senseless comments from you. As you hopefully know there are a lot of community forums where members give each other helpful information FOR FREE.

If also the "OFF TOPIC"-section of this forum is only for money you should have tell me this AT FIRST instead of giving useless comments and moving my thread into this section.

Nothing is free .. it is only a matter of time before you are taxed for the air that you breath.

Where people give out free advice they are always advertising their services, I simply cut to the chase.

I did not move it. But it is off-topic because it has nothing to do with openvpn.

Your network is broken and you expect total strangers to fix it for you for free. And you get paid to fix it.

Are you really that naive .. welcome to the real world.

All right. Congratulations, Mr. "TinCanTech". So much rubbish in only a few sentences. :lol:

You are the kind of naughty moderators nobody really needs.

I did not moderate your post.

The reason you don't like what you read is because you are evidentially not qualified to do your job and you don't want to pay for the help you so badly need. If you think I am wrong then show this thread to your employers. :ugeek:

I agree. You did not moderate my post although you are a so called "Moderator", but you only made unneccessary offensive comments. A shame that a so called "Moderator" like you only uses this forum to make offers and want to earn money from users.

Wrong. YOU are not qualified to do your job, because you are moderator and my thread was moved to "Off Topic", but it really belongs to Community section => Server administration! If you had done your job correctly you should have been taking care to move my thread to the correct section where it belongs to.

We dont need to pay money for nothing (especially NOT for your help if you really think we were thinking about it), because the matter is OUR job to find a solution. And the solution is called SOFTETHER! 😃

My comments were not offensive at all ..

Quoted here in order:

TinCanTech wrote You are not using Openvpn-Connect (Windows).

No offence.

Free tip: If you think Openvpn is the problem then uninstall it and try again.

Learn how to do your job or hire somebody that is qualified to do it for you ..

Do not come here and blame Openvpn for your problems and then get upset when you find out you are wrong.

I could ban you from this forum .. but why would I do that ?

snugger

I dont agree.

It seams the word "qualified" is your favorite word, isn't it ? And your "free tips" are really great.

You made my day!
