Any guidance on setup Softether VPN server for high load

Post by suddhasilsarkar » Wed Feb 18, 2026 4:02 am

Hi There,
While deploying 500 vpn tunnels to a server running on aws EC2, its based of ARM and having 16vCPU and 32 GB RAM and 50Gbps constant throughput. I see around 490 connection establish but still 10 conenction failed getting DHCP ( I am using dnsmaq) . these connection stabled after multiple try. And I see some connections having very slow throughput like 1Mbps, 2Mbps.
Is there any document or if anyone can suggest me any good configuration and OS tuning if required to get best performance ? Also I am using openvpn client and thats a hard limit our side. So I can not use cluster , please suggest ?

Thanks
Suddhasil
