Hi,
I am running an OpenVPN Server on my DS216j. However, transfer speed is limited to 1.5 Megabyte/s when using Hyper Backup NAS->NAS Transfer (backing up a single big file), 1.3 Megabyte/s when using SMB Transfers (transferring a single big file) and even 0.4 Megabyte/s when downloading a file through the File Station app via Browser (also a single big file). The internet connections between the server and the clients are not the cause for the limitations as they have a much higher bandwidth in both download and upload (verified by speedtest.net).
What are the causes for those issues? Please consider that all the speeds are just fine when I do not use VPN but usual LAN. Even the slowest speed (0.4 Megabyte/s File Station download) turns to 15,5 Megabyte/s without VPN. If you think encryption is the cause, please consider that I do not see any relevant CPU load while the transfers are running. Also, how would that explain the different speed limits (down to 0,4 MB/s)? Are there further settings that - in combination with an active OpenVPN connection - can affect the speeds in such "dramatic" way?
Best and thanks,
Jens
