Can't reach 1gb/s

Open storm42 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Hello, My internet ISP's speed is currently 1gb/s while connected directly to it (speedtest showing 950mb/s). I have a private server which also has a 1gb/s speed on it, and openVPN configured with TAP.

The problem is that when I'm connected to openVPN from my windows 10, max speed is limited to 20mb/s (speedtest showing 20mb/s).

I already checked issue #3 , but it was created 3 years ago and I wanted to know if somebody has a tip to unlock speed to 1gb/s.

Thanks, Storm

Same here, I have a 200MBit/s internet connection but my OpenVPN "Tap-Windows Adapter V9" (installed from latest OpenVPN Windows Client openvpn-install-2.4.4-I601.exe only shows 100MBit/s and my speedtests confirm that I can only reach 100MBit/s while using the VPN tunnel. The machine my tunnel is connected to has a 1GBit/s internet connection so it's definitively the TAP adapter slowing down the connection.

Quick look at the code, I only found this: https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=speed

Not sure, I don't think this value of 100000 isn't the value we're looking for?

Not sure that i want to recompile it myself. I was hoping I could find an openvpn parameter to unlock it ^^ tell me if you find something :)
