Slow traffic via basic L2TP tunnel

Mon Oct 11, 2021 5:15 am

I have Fiber at home (via PPPoE) on a 200mbps plan and a Server hosted at a DC (Ethernet Assigned IP) on a 1Gb plan.
I have been getting very slow speeds so tried routing all traffic (0.0.0.0/0) through the tunnel to browse and test.

I'm assuming that a fragment issue or something. Try loading a page and it takes many minutes to load.
Run a speedtest.net and takes ages for page to load.
When I can eventually click start, it shoots up fast, then goes down to like 5mbps.

Dear @icepicknz,

It's funny you bring this one to the forum as I experienced some sluggish performance of L2TP (over IPsec) when comparing it with EoIP (over the same IPsec tunnel).
It feels the problem is not directly related with performance (as in throughput) but with lag/latency.

Do you want to redo your setup so you can test EoIP against L2TP and report your findings? :-)
