Which VPN is this?

 

What speed do you get without the VPN?

 

in airtel this is firstly moderm and after that my netgear router is connected , i had try resetting the router as well as tried in AP mode but it doesnot works for me.

What is that modem?

 

AP mode will not work on the R8000 unless that modem is also a router?

    i have using VPN server in netgear and without using VPN server i am getting the same upload speed around 50 mbps. i think so there is an issue of double NAT so this issue is repeating so i have contacted the airtel my isp provider to change their router to bridge mode so there will no issue of Double NAT

    the airtel router is Modem plus router

      Are you establishing the VPN connection from an OpenVPN client using the same Internet connection where our R8000 is connected to? This will make passing all traffic your already limited bandwidth Internet connection twice...

        Nope i am not using the VPN client on the same network, i am using VPN client on another place. The netgear has own VPN server so ia= have created vpn server in my X6 R8000 device. but in netgear there is speedtest in my default gateway in that i am getting only 50 mbps speed upload even thought i have 200 mbps plan right now. so i have airtel connection and they have provided me the router of nokia ZTE and in that yesterday i had done the Bridge mode enabled and connected PPPoE connection in my netgear router , i thought that there was an double NAT problem so i turned off NAT in my airtel router but still it didn't works for me.
