As a follow up to my earlier posts, I set up OpenVPN and my remote user is using Xten's Eyebeam to connect to our * machine. Everything is connecting up fine.
However, the voice quality is horrible. We've done some testing. If he comes in via the vpn, the quality sucks. If I set up port forwarding and he comes in that way, the voice quality is good, on par with a cell phone. The network path is the same either way. The firewall machine is OLD, a p5-200. The question is, do VPNs introduce latency that degrades the voice quality by their very nature or is our vpn server so slow that the slow encrypting/decrypting is causing it? The second question is what is the best codec to use? It's currently set to gsm just because that's what it defaulted to. Is there a better choice?
