OpenVPN slow transfer speeds

Kosta88

Hello,

SC125, home 125/12mBit, work 50/20mBit. Split tunneling.

The problem seems to arise when I try to transfer more smaller files. Transferring one big file I get almost full speed.

Advanced:

AES-256-CBC

SHA2 256

2048 bit

Local X509 Cert

28800

Compress SSL VPN traffic checked

Any ideas why it's only miserably slow when I transfer smaller files? I checked the CPU usage, it's at about 10%, the firewall is being virtually bored.

    Hallo,

    Just to confirm - you have an SG 125 at your workplace and you are connecting from your home to the SSL VPN server in the UTM - correct?

    Is it uploads from you PC to a server in the office that are slow, transfers in the other direction or both?  How are you transferring the files - RDP?  FTP? or ???

    The SG 125 doesn't have a very powerful processor, so I would use AES-128-CBC with 1024 bit and I would disable traffic compression.  How much improvement did that get you?

    Cheers - Bob

    We have SG125 at work, and I have custom built UTM at home.

    I tried both remote vpn and s2s, with same results.

    The problem mostly manifests when working with smaller files, trying to copy a bunch of smaller files or open a single smaller file. It just takes a lot of time per file. If I zip it and transfer, to start transferring it takes a while,  it after that I get decent speeds.

    I am using SMB, which I know has quite a lot of overhead. I’ll try setting up a FTP connection to test if it works better. And I’ll try lowering the encryption.
