i am experiencing different bandwith and different pings when connecting from my home to the vpn servers of my vpn service provider in asia. So client and host location stays the same. Only OS and machines (vm or native) vary.



The differences vary from the OS / machine i am using. What could cause this? What should i adjust / compare?





When using Windows 7 x64 with OpenVPN v11.10.0 i have the following bandwith regarding to speedtest.net




  • Ping: 275ms

  • Download: 25.39 Mbps

  • Upload: 9.51 Mbps


And without active vpn:




  • Ping: 6ms

  • Download: 69.84 Mbps

  • Upload: 25.33 Mbps




When running my virtual machine inside that Windows 7 machine using Lubuntu 16.04, Kernel 4.4.0-139-generic, OpenVPN 2.4.6 (before i had version 2.3.10 but that didn`t make any difference)




  • Ping: 276ms

  • Download: 3.62 Mbps

  • Upload: 4.68 Mbps


Without active vpn:




  • Ping: 10ms

  • Download: 69.51 Mbps

  • Upload: 20.24 Mbps




When using my Lubuntu native machine ( that i mainly use as homeserver), with Lubuntu 16.04, Kernel 4.4.0-139-generic and OpenVPN 2.3.10




  • Ping: 393ms

  • Download: 16.43 Mbps

  • Upload: 6.14 Mbps


Wihout active vpn:




  • Ping: 10 ms

  • Download: 69.03 Mbps

  • Upload: 24.68 Mbps




Below is the *.ovpn config that i use for my Windows machine.




client
dev tun
proto udp
remote IP 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher aes-128-cbc
