Connecting to OpenVPN 2.5.3 server slows down the Internet bandwith

Post by kaushalshriyan » Mon Sep 06, 2021 5:48 pm

Hi,

I am running OpenVPN 2.5.3 server on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).

Code: Select all

openvpn --version
OpenVPN 2.5.3 x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Jun 18 2021
library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017, LZO 2.06

When users connect to OpenVPN server using OpenVPN Client (https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/) and then they connect to https://meet.google.com/ VPN slows down considerably. There will be network disconnect and cannot hear the voice of the other person who is in the call. There are around 70 VPN Client users who connect to office VPN. Anything to be tweaked from the server.conf file? My Office ISP Bandwidth is 50 Mbps. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

70 users and only 50mbps .. what do you expect .. magic ?

Pay for more bandwidth at your place of business.

Thanks Tincantech. Is there a way to find out how much is the current traffic handled by OpenVPN during business hours?

I doubt that your server even knows your current time...
