VPN speed: windows8.1 accepting incomming vs hardware VPN
Hi, I have a Win8.1 virual machine running on a NAS and Win8.1 is accepting incoming connections(VPN). This is located at the office where I have an ISP connection 200Mbits/s down; 15Mbits/s up. At ...
I've run into similar situations with speed and one of the best things you can do is set up a site-to-site connection. This way, all the vpn overhead is in the routers. I can max out our 4Mbit upload pipe where our servers are almost 600mi away using a site-to-site configuration.
FYI
I bought a FVS318N Prosave router.
PPTP passtrue remains les then 5mbits/s
I configured the FVS318N to receive IPSec client connection with the VPN client software of Netgear.
I get 9.85Mbits/s.
So this is close to the max connection speeds, as my upload of my ISP connection is 10Mbits/s
Thx for the advice on upgrading my router.
