OpenVPN on Raspberry pi 3B+ vs 4 ??

sithlord · 2 Sep 2019 at 13:15

I seem to get around 50-60Mbits download stream on my pi 3B+ with OpenVPN on speedtest.net... it looks like there is a bottle neck.

Can anyone with OPENVPN installed and a pi 4 post your download speeds on speedtest.net as Im thinking of upgrading but would like to know the download speed?

Begs the obvious question, how fast is your internet service? If it's only a 60Mb line it isn't magically going to net you 200Mb. As anyone responding as well needs to really state what the service is compared to what the VPN speed is.

Its over 220Mpbs.

Without going through the Raspberry VPN I hit Max speeds every time I tried (and the Pis hard wired)

The pi's ethernet is shared with the usb 2 bus speed, thus its never going to be fast.
The 4 is much better in this regard.

Yes, hence why I'm looking for someone with a pi 4 + OpenVPN to post a speedtest result.
