OpenVPN over TCP, terrible latency but only on Win7 x64

Solution 1:

Are you 100% sure that you are on the newest version (2.1.1)? we've actually had some linux clients experience this same problem, and what we found was that they had older versions of the client software installed.

Also noticed that if you had an old version installed, and just installed the latest version to upgrade the installer did NOT upgrade it to the latest, and still showed the old version numbers when doing "openvpn --version" from the command line after the update.

To really get the new version in we had to fully uninstall ovpn and then install the latest.

Good luck, if this doesn't help i hope you find the issue!

Solution 2:

Well, that windows install kicked the bucket, and I reinstalled it earlier this week. Now somehow, I no longer have that issue.

Go figure. I wish I still had a snapshot of the system so I could pinpoint the differences :(

Thanks for the help, everyone.
