So now I have done the iperf3 test in the real hardware. Server: Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 on Lenovo PC on home LAN (OpenVPN and file store) Client: Ubuntu Mint 20.3 on HP PRODESK PC on remote LAN Connection LAN-LAN: Home LAN: ASUS RT-AC86U router Remote LAN: ASUS RT-AC68U router Remote router connects by OpenVPN to home OpenVPN server and the system has been set up to be bidirectional (see separate thread here: "LAN-LAN connection via ASUS Router OpenVPN?"). Test with iperf3 (server at home, client at remote LAN) $ iperf3 -c 192.168.119.216 -f M Connecting to host 192.168.119.216, port 5201 [ 5] local 192.168.117.251 port 43860 connected to 192.168.119.216 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 953 KBytes 0.93 MBytes/sec 26 8.72 KBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 1.06 MBytes 1.06 MBytes/sec 31 4.98 KBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 1.49 MBytes 1.49 MBytes/sec 32 3.74 KBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 1.35 MBytes 1.35 MBytes/sec 28 2.49 KBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 1.40 MBytes 1.40 MBytes/sec 27 4.98 KBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 1.02 MBytes 1.02 MBytes/sec 28 7.48 KBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 1.49 MBytes 1.49 MBytes/sec 33 6.23 KBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 1.32 MBytes 1.32 MBytes/sec 31 3.74 KBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 1.43 MBytes 1.43 MBytes/sec 21 13.7 KBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 1.59 MBytes 1.59 MBytes/sec 34 6.23 KBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 13.1 MBytes 1.31 MBytes/sec 291 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 13.0 MBytes 1.30 MBytes/sec receiver So this is about 10 Mbit/s speed... I had really hoped for something better than 1/25th of the connection speed. Is this normal or is there some way to improve the speed? Erlier tests with the server and client on the same LAN showed speed maxing out in the hundreds of Mbit/s. So the bottleneck seems to be OpenVPN. Grateful for any tips on improving this. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
