OpenVPN Server Configuration

See my previous post. UDP traffic is sent "best effort" but has lower protocol overheads, whereas TCP is reliable but consumes slightly more bandwidth.

Using UDP makes sense for reliable but very low bandwidth connections. Like back in the day of dial-up modems or ADSL. Unless you need to squeeze every last bit of bandwidth out of your connection you might prefer to use TCP for its reliability. Test both methods and see how you get on.

Hi,

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Actually at home I am stuck with the ADSL modem/router yet. I have this two wire phone cable going in the modem/router.

I guess I will use TCP protocol for now since it is working and it is reliable.

Thank you and good luck in the future.

Best Regards
