Hi,

 

i've huge problems with my vpn speed concerning airvpn and my router gl-ar150 (with openvpn config from here)

the router hangs directly to my ISP (Austria), than futher with lan to my smart tv

normaly my speed is about 35 Mbit/Down (with this constellation only about 1 Mbit !!)

 

my configfile is UDP 443 with server from the netherlands

 

Any help would be appreciated

I reread your first post and it seems it's your router establishing the connection. Your speeds are expected in this case, a 400 MHz CPU is not nearly good enough for achieving good speeds with constant AES-256 encryption/decryption. That's the general consensus around these forums following multiple reports from users using OpenVPN on comsumer-grade routers.

thanks for your info Treiberschreiber, so it would be better to install airvpn on an "old" notebook or buy an raspberry pi i think?!

RasPi is even less recommendable because ARM processors are Reduced Instruction Set CPUs ("RISC"), therefore they do specific tasks very good. OpenVPN is not one of them.

 

Many users around here like to build a pfSense/opnSense box as a replacement for routers. You need knowledge about this stuff or a very good guide for this, though. Search around these forums, there are some
