Slow download speeds (Raspberry Pi w/ OpenVPN)

[phasee 0]

Just recently started having issues,

 

I have a raspberry pi running openVPN, which has a config connecting to North American AirVPN servers. I have my laptop and my TV using the Pi as a gateway.

 

I am getting less than 1MB/s download speeds when I test with speedtest. The issue doesn't seem to be with my internet connection, as I get my full speed when connecting directly to my router.

 

Anyone having issues? Or have a solution to this problem?

 

Thanks!

I haven't installed anything but OpenVPN.

 

Upon further inspection, it seems like it may be a DNS issue. I am currently using the google DNS servers. When I try to ping them from the RPi, I get nothing.

​Your speed with OpenVPN connected is as it should be. RaspberryPi isn't strong enough to deliver higher speed.
