Speed Issues - Need Advice

Hello,

I am on a Gig download line (routinely tests between 800 mbps and 1.1 gbps), and I know that I shouldn't expect nearly that much in terms of throughput with a VPN, I have been seeing significantly lower speeds than I feel I should.  Speed tests with the VPN on show generally around 60 mbps, so we are talking 5% of the top end of my speed.

I am running it on Windows 10 Pro machine with the latest updates.  Fully wired all the way through the modem.  My CPU does have AES-NI support, and plenty of power to run a solid VPN connection.

I've done a lot of searching on the forums and tried just about everything that was current.

Things I have tried:

  • Ensuring that I am using a tls-crypt-enabled server
    • I have no reason to believe this is due to traffic-shaping
  • Increasing buffer frame size
  • All the different protocols and ports (UDP, TCP, SSH, SSL, etc)
  • OpenVPN 2.5 with wintun through Eddie
  • OpenVPN 2.5 with wintun through the OpenVPN client, connecting to AirVPN servers
  • ChaCha20 servers
  • Reducing encryption to AES-128-GCM
  • Update to latest beta

Please let me know your thoughts.  I have attached my directives and log below.

Here are my custom directives: 
windows-driver wintun
ncp-disable
cipher AES-128-GCM


Here is my log:

If wintun doesn't give you significantly more speed than the old TAP then you have something else limiting your speed.  That's my thought.  It could be some hardware or software on your PC or in your network somewhere.  Or it could be something with your ISP.

Thanks for responding.  If the only thing I am changing is enabling the VPN and getting a reduction of 95% on my speed, it seems like the issue is somewhere in the configuration of the VPN.  I get good speeds on my VPN for my company, much better than the speeds I am getting with AirVPN.  That is running through Cisco AnyConnect, but I don't know anything else about the connection.  I don't think it's hardware on my computer, as I get great speeds as soon as I turn the VPN off.  I run a pretty barebones system, without very many processes running at the same time, so I don't think there is any software limiting it either.
