Why SE so slow?

Post by Gerard1 » Thu May 14, 2020 11:33 am

On the server i have 1 gbit\s port (on speedtest the result is 474 mbit\s), on client side port is 100 mbit\ps ( speedtest).
When i connect to vpn server my speed is maximum 23 mbit and sometimes 10-12 mbit.
connection was checked through SE client and built in microsoft L2TP\IPSec. the same problem with connection through OpenVPN client.

i read that the problem could be because of using virtual NAT, but only with enabled this function client can connect.
what is bridge i dont know and unfortunately documentation of this site dont give clear answer.
help me please.

In SecureNAT you can try changing the MTU to 1280. If it does not improve the speed change it back to 1500. I have had to do this on a cloud hosted VM
that for some reason maxed out at 24 Mbps DL

For "Local bridge" you need to TURN OFF SecureNAT first. Then create a "localbridge" between the physical NIC and virtual HUB. Your VPN clients will then receive an IP address from the local network DHCP server. If the Host is a virtual machine you will need to enable "MAC spoofing, Permiscous Mode". If this is a cloud based VM this feature will not function and you will have to use SecureNAT.

i disabled SecureNAT, and created a localbridge. the status is "Operating". But when i try to connect i receive this message and the client manager status is "Connected" but actually my ip doesn't changed.

Is the SE-Server installed on a Physical machine or a Virtual Machine Host ? If a VM please enable "MAC spoofing/ Permiscous Mode"

Is the Ethernet adapter you used to create the "Local Bridge" a Wired NIC or Wifi ? Please use a wired NIC as some Wifi adapters do not function as expected.

Is there a DHCP server running on the local network that the "local Bridge" is connected to ? This would be the same DHCP server the SE-Host would receive its IP address from (if it is not set to a static IP).

Did you reboot the Host machine after creating the "local Bridge" ?
