Hello,
there are so many complains about openvpn performance in proto tcp mode
that it is almost unbelievable that nobody took care of it. I am using two 
20/20 MB connections and openvpn
tunnel in tcp mode. without vpn my ping is about 10ms but with vpn it jumps to 
520ms. What is most interesting when i use ping -l 1472 which is maximum packet 
size for MTU 1500 ping is OK and about 13ms. Any other size than 1472 (which 
means 1500 = 1472 + 28 overhead) causes ping to take values about 500-600ms.  
And it is not acceptable to use UDP for me because of my company policy. I 
think that it is very common problem and not yet answered. I am taking wild 
guess that everything works OK with proper packet size = MTU but when packet is 
smaller or larger (with fragmentation) it causes lags. Looking forward to your 
answers.

Best Regards
Ucho
