So what you're saying is that on a ~70Mbs network you sometimes see ~70Mbs via "openvpn-via-proxy-server" and sometimes you don't? As the performance of openvpn varies - and I assume you know the client and server aren't the bottleneck - then that leaves....? The proxy! :-) See how it's running. Does it have inline AV? Does it do content filtering/rate shaping/etc. Could it be simply overloaded? When you're nailing 70Mbs through it, how does it look? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
