Huge speed increase

[FPyro 2]

Hi!

I don't know what happened, but suddenly after installing openVPN 2.3 I get almost my full connection speed on a german server [being in germany myself].

My connection is a good 100Mbit/s - stable - and it's never been that high using airVPN.

Did something change? How is this possible? Before I could only get about 20-30% on average.

I'm delighted as it is and hope it stays this way :laugh:

Have a nice weekend

Hello!

We are aware that OpenVPN 2.3.0 fixed some issues in Windows, but at the moment we have no rational explanation on the performance boost. It must be related to your upgrade, though, because nothing changed on the servers side. By the way, we're of course extremely glad to know that!

Kind regards

Weird. I tried upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3 and couldn't get 2.3 64 bit version to work. Oddly enough it would not default the install in the 64 bit directory (program files (x86). It would only try to install in the 32 bit folder which I thought was odd. After the 2.3 install, the GUI would try to connect and then crash. So I uninstalled 2.3, cleaned my registry, restarted the pc, reinstalled 2.2 and it works with no problem. Gremlins.

Before I upgraded to 2.3, I removed the older version first. There is no need to clean the registry in my opinion. What actually made me upgrade was that the tun/tap adapter crashed before, so I was hoping for v.2.3 to fix that.

Seems the speed is indeed improved, but only regarding downloads from servers with few connections. Filesharing, in particular bittorrent, which establishes about 50-100 connections for me, seems to have severe effects on performance. Not 100% sure about that yet.
