OpenVPN Performance

Tue Jun 07, 2022 1:12 pm

I have a question about the OpenVPN performance.
I have a UDP OpenVPN connection between my RB5009 and a remote Debian server.

The bandwidth I get is about 14Mbit/s for AES-256-CBC/SHA256 and about 15Mbit/s for AES-128-CBC/SHA1. But when I run a SSH connection outside the VPN I can tunnel 90 Mbit/s between from a server behind the RB5009 and the remote Linux server. The Internet connection at both sites are 100Mbit/s in the same city.

How can I improve the VPN performance? Is it that OpenVPN on Mikrotik cannot perform better than this?
It doesn't seem like the Mikrotik device is bottle necked on CPU.

The tests were performed with iperf3.

Model: RB5009UG+S+
Firmware version: 7.2.2
RouterOS version: 7.2.2
