Upload speed 5 times faster than download speed

Post by xzuttz » Sun Jan 05, 2020 9:03 am

Hi,

I've installed OpenVPN through PiVPN (http://www.pivpn.io/) on Ubuntu, hosted in Azure (VPS - Amsterdam datacenter). I am located in Denmark.

The VPS is a DS3_v2 with 4 vCPUs and 14GB RAM.

OpenVPN is configured to use UDP.

Running a speedtest on https://www.speedtest.net/ shows 5 times faster upload speed than download speed. See below images.

Running the speedtest without the VPN, through my own computer, still gives me slightly faster upload speed, but the ratio is way lower.

Is there any way to improve the download speed ?

Configuration:

Code: Select all

dev tun
proto udp
port 1194
ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/issued/misc-vm_a4f65a00-5f2a-4214-b36e-8e6d34ca0706.crt
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/private/misc-vm_a4f65a00-5f2a-4214-b36e-8e6d34ca0706.key
dh none
topology subnet
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
# Set your primary domain name server address for clients
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"
# Prevent DNS leaks on Windows
push "block-outside-dns"
# Override the Client default gateway by using 0.0.0.0/1 and
# 128.0.0.0/1 rather than 0.0.0.0/0. This has the benefit of
# overriding but not wiping out the original default gateway.
