Oddly enough this morning I got speeds of 90/90, 90/80, 90/60. No changes and no explanation on why the improvement. I suppose AWS just has some variances? I'm running it on the t2.micro instances which were made for burst cpu usage.

Hi all, I recently purchased and set up pfsense on this little beauty: GB-BSi3HAL-6100. It's currently sitting between my asus rt-n66u mode which I just put into AP mode and my modem and it's acting as my router. I just got pfsense working and had setup the openvpn client to connect to an...

Take a look at Striesand. In 10 minutes it sets a bunch of different protocols so you can mess around and test. Reports say wireguard is worth a try and it's one of the ones set up by streisand. https://github.com/jlund/streisand

Thanks for the response. Was I correct regarding the setup of having that box between your router and the modem? And it seems your pick has a processor that supports AES NI, was that on purpose? Also, I just found this one. There's a thread on a different forum website that seems to indicate it...

Hi, I've rolled out my own vpn server to a service in AWS (anyone interested, see https://github.com/jlund/streisand). I have experienced the same speed decrease. Paid for speed: 100 Mbps / 100 Mbps Native speed without VPN: 110 Mbps / 90 Mbps Speed with openVpn client on desktop: 100 Mbps / 70...

As it happens, I hate being lazy so I did mess around with jumbo frames. There was indeed a slight improvement but only for computer B. Speeds jumped to 750MBps. However, I remember reading that jumbo frames should not be enabled if not all clients can support it and in fact I discovered that...

Hi, I was curious as to the LAN file transfer speeds on wire and I'm hoping someone can tell me if I should be expecting more from my speeds or if I'm getting what I should be. Tests involves: Dell desktop machine with unknown hard drive rpm speed. NTFS. Windows 8. 1 gig nic card...

Hi, I've just recently purchased my rt-n66u last month. I noticed that when I'm on a friend's network and connect to my network over vpn, i can only get 100Kbps download speeds over samba/ ftp/ and scp (thus ruling our file transfer protocol). I realize that the download speed is limited by...
