Can AirVPN handle 1Gbps connection?

OpenVPN over SSL made no difference. The problem if randomly but most of the time speed limit still persist.

Strong clues hinting to congestion or traffic shaping. OpenVPN over SSL, in a totally agnostic network and on equal terms, must be slower, it can't provide same or better performance.

 

Performance fluctuation hints to traffic shaping and/or congestion as well.

 

We once again underline that we are not informed about a precise limit of the tun interface on Windows with the driver 9.21.2.

 

Kind regards

Let's say you are correct. Why does it work 2/10 times? Do they stop shaping the traffic randomly?

That doesn't make much sense to me. I start to believe that there is any local issue with my computer (or router?).

 

Back to the topic: Once it is working the maximum I got from an Airvpn server was 32 MB/s (320Mbps) download with a 1Gbps connection. Upload is much higher, 800Mbits and more is possible over VPN.

Traffic shaping devices have reached a remarkable flexibility. They can shape traffic on a wide variety of factors and conditions. They can decide when shaping traffic on protocols, ports, patterns, times and according to pre-defined conditions when they are met. Traffic shaping on a user basis is also perfectly possible. What appears random to you could hide a very precise underlying pattern, for example reacting to congestions, demands etc. on some segments (this is just an example).

 

Alternatively, it's only congestion, without shaping, which apparently occurs randomly.

 

Of course all of the above can't rule out your legitimate suspect. Some specific occurrence in your system might make the behavior apparently erratic, in this case it's mainly up to you to try to find what's wrong in your system. A useful comparison could be testing a different computer with a different system on the same line, with the same router and the same conditions; and then testing with a different router.

That's very interesting, so the old limit has been bypassed.

well then i am lucky  one couse i get this Hasseleh server.. 

 

What's the hardware? I've been reading much (and much is old anyway) and it says that OpenVPN is signle threaded but possible to reach 1gbps with decent processor. But it doesn't say what decent is.

 

Hello,

 

it's  very important (at least for our setup) that the processor supports AES-New Instructions. The performance boost per core is dramatic if compared to a processor not supporting AES-NI.

 

This article below is very interesting to optimize VPN servers in an attempt to squeeze almost 1 Gbit/s from one core and it can be useful even for clients.

 

On the server side the task becomes even more difficult with multiple clients, because it seems from our empirical experience that the needed processing power does not grow linearly with the amount of connected OpenVPN clients (it apparently varies with some faster-than-linear growth). At least, on the client side you can ignore this problem.

Kind regards

I wonder... having an i7 4770K that Intel specifies as supporting the AES New Instructions set, would I see any benefit from using it? On my client, I mean.

Using Eddie?  What changes from the default setup, if any?

Yes I use Eddie. Buffer size 512 KB.
