Slow transfer speeds on linux mint 18.3

Post by sinister » Mon May 21, 2018 1:10 am

Hi guys I am running a Openvpn-as server on a network with 200Mb down and 10Mb up, the linux mint client i am connecting from is also on a similar

network. Whenever i try to transfer a file from a smb share as small as 1GB the speed stays around 900 kBps I read on a older post on this forum

that your download on the client would only be as much as the server network upload now im not expecting a full 10Mb but 900 kBps ? something is definitely wrong here

can anyone help point me in the right direction ?

You are using Openvpn-AS not the Community edition .. although, I have no doubt they share code.

Problems with speed almost always boil down to something other than openvpn ..

I am only replying so as you not waste your time looking in the wrong places.

unRAID is a linux based OS in which you can run a variety of applications in the form of Dockers most are setup for out of the box use. But they can be modified to suit each person's needs
