Speed issues

[jimmy]

OP out of curiosity what kind of router do you have installed?

[ErasmusMundus]

The default  Sagemcom (not really)f@st 2864. Btw updated the config files for the vpn client, still getting the same speeds.

[jimmy]

do you have access to any other routers? still testing but i think my router is the culprit

[ErasmusMundus]

I don't know much about routers, so I may be wrong, but I don't think there is any reason why the router would prefer non-VPN traffic to VPN traffic, as I have no trouble maxing my dl speed no matter where a server is, as long as their upload speeds are sufficiently higher than my bandwidth; and anyway my router doesn't even have QoS to discriminate my internet traffic. Also I the speeds on different devices, but I still get a disappointing 1-2 MB/s depending on the server.

There has been discussion that some unix or linux-based routers can benefit from what is called TCP fast forwarding.

I will try the setting as soon as I can

Your router might not support the setting, but internally, the routing code might be affected by it.

I had the best results on french servers
