Speed Issues

[atton]

I've been running openvpn for a while now with quite some degree of success. But I seem to have ran into a bit of a problem with the lan networking aspect of the vpn itself. For example the server itself has a local ip of 10.8.0.1 and whenever a client attempts to pull files from it. I have noticed a maximum speed of around 300kbps. Which is far lower than it would be using a direct connection, as such I have attempted to play around with the mtu and buffer settings. But I seem to fall short of seeing real improvement and I am quickly running out of ideas as to the cause of this problem.

I am using port 443 to bypass firewalls and the server in question is hosted by ovh. Is there a way to fix the speed problems or is this a non starter?
