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

You are not using Openvpn-Connect (Windows).

[quote=TinCanTech post_id=99623 time=1621979434 user_id=37053] You are not using Openvpn-Connect (Windows). [/quote] 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 :D

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...

Networks and Operating systems are complex and it sounds like yours got confused .. [/quote] 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 ;)

When your car breaks down do you expect the mechanic to tell you how to fix it for free ?

Temporarily high pings because of printer drivers and spooler service

I think you fail your job.

TinCanTech

It is not a job ..

If it were a job then you would pay for it.

TinCanTech

You get one free extra life:

If you can actually show how openvpn could, in some bizarre way, be responsible for your complete incompetence,
as a person who claims to be in charge of a network (Ganesha help!), by actually providing the details requested ..

Then .. I will not delete this thread and ban you forever.

TinCanTech

48 hours ought to do .............................................

Thank you! As we already know to offend is your hobby and you are the best network-admin in the world. 😃

And then? An Asteroid goes down at Yucatán? 😃

Sorry, but I am really not afraid of your deadline for sure 😃.

And I also assume I will survive your banning. 😃

You as so-called "Moderator" were until today (!) not even able to take care that my posting is moved into the correct forum chapter "Community Project => Server Administratrion" where it REALLY belongs to. As everybody can see in the beginning of this thread YOU were the one who gave the wrong tip to move this thread into the wrong chapter "Off Topic"! This is a shame and shows that you are not even able to reach a solution for this really easy matter. The whole thread shows that you are wasting a lot of time in giving insults instead of doing constructive moderation work what you really should do.

I dont need any help from you, neither for free nor for money, because my solution is called "SOFTETHER" and works great! 😃

So think about it: It seems SOFTETHER is able to solve a problem which OPENVPN cannot do, right???
So why should I send you logfiles? Only in order to show that I am qualified to send the proof that there ACTUALLY WAS a problem? Kindergarten. No need for me! 😃

But of course I never "blamed" OpenVPN for something! Why should I? It is of course a very good open source software! Great work, I`ve been using it successfully for years.

But although I have a solution with SOFTETHER, here addional infos for (really) interested persons:
After 3 weeks of intensive work on this problem, unfortunately OpenVPN definitly is in conflict with Brother network printer drivers, at least with the 8410CDW. I tested it many times in different virtual and physical Windows-environments with fresh installations and also in "old" systems. If the brother printer is installed on the windows business laptop and the business laptop is used at home for OpenVPN connection to the company, the brother network printer on remote site (company) must be powered-on all the time (status ONLINE ), so it also reachable by PING. If it is OFFLINE, the ping timeouts to the remote network occur temporarily during the established OpenVPN-session. This is why I called this problem "strange" in the beginning of this thread, but of course it must have a reason. In opposite of my first thoughts stopping the printer spooler service does not solve the problem. I did not find a solution for this problem and brother is grabbing deep in the registry with many registry hives in HKLM\SOFTWARE and especially in HKLM\SYSTEM. But this does not matter, because the alternative SOFTETHER works fine. Problem solved, job done. We are all happy , but nethertheless we of course hope that Brother or OpenVPN will fix the problem sometime 😃
