[thalita 0]

Hello I have more than 200 megs of internet, but on no server can I reach more than 100 megs, even the server in my city is no more than 100 megs, you have to change something or do what you can to reach more than 100 megs using vpn ?

Yes you do on the client-side. buffer-size for one:
-------------------
rcvbuf 562144
sndbuf 562144
-------------------

How do you change this. I can only see a drop down box in Eddie that gives me the option upto 512KB

I am using Linux.  Probably does not apply.

512 kibibytes = 562144 bytes. The option you mention is exactly what changes this value for you.

Ah, should've used a calculator before. It's actually 524288 But the second sentence is correct and 512 kB comes very close to what you want.

Actually, I just realized, 256 kiB = 262144. Someone simply substituted the 2 with a 5 and called it a day, but that makes the value not be a base 2 number.

Why is so?

[OpenSourcerer 1435]

Why is what?

[Flx 76]

Changing the buffer-size from 2 to 5 doubled my speed download/upload on spot. from initial value of 262144 to 562144.

Using higher values did not help with this.

Has anyone tried passing these parameters to hummingbird via Eddie? I’m on a Mac, I have Eddie with hummingbird activated and works fine with default settings. I tried adding these as custom OVPN parameters in the Eddie preferences but I don’t see any difference in the logs or VPN performance (in on a gigabit line)

Hello!

Hummingbird uses OpenVPN3-AirVPN library, which leaves dynamic, real time socket buffer adjustment to asio library. Fixed buffer sizes directives are ignored. It's a superior solution.

Kind regards
