SSL - Terrible speed

Reaching out here before calling support as its tricky to try and solve this with users connected and having to get them to redownload config files for changes. 

Running 17.5.7. We have TCP enabled and get about 1.5MB/ps on SMB share access.  We tried changing to UDP which bumped us to 2.4MB/ps.  We have a 500Mb connection.  Our other settings are as follows.  Any recommendations to try and get this up?

Compression off

AES-128-CB

SHA2 256

  • Hi  

    Please check the system graphs and check WAN interface usage.

    Please check DOS settings for UDP flood and bypass SSL VPN port from it, if applied

    What is the ISP speed of the user system connect over SSL VPN?

  • Hello,

     

    Interface usage was low and the end-user has Gig internet.   These tests have been tried on other end users as well. 

    What setting are you referring to for flood protection? There are no IDS/Scanning on the firewall rule for the SSL access. 

  • In XG, you can configure DOS Protection (Flood Protection) which will lead into speed problems, because XG will drop packets, which has to be re transmitted by the client. 

     

    Actually SSLVPN Traffic could be slow because of the way, the packets are transmitted. 

    If you start to lower MTU Size on Server, and Server XG Interface, will the speed be boosted? 

    Also lowering the MTU Size of the WAN Interface?

  • Won't lowering MTU cause other issues?  We only experience problems with SSL VPN.  I don't want to mess around with the server MTU as internally this all works fine

  • SSLVPN could be connected to MTU size issues. If you have a lower MTU size on the Endpoint / WAN interface. Each packets needs to be re transmitted with a proper MTU. That causes a huge delay, so to speak slow performance.

    There are plenty of old threads about this (Take a look at UTM / XG, should be the same for this).
