Low download speed ramhost VPN

Hey there, I have a 40mbit down and 1mbit up
This is what I get when using my ramhost vpn
Is that normal?
Comments
Depends. How is your download speed without the VPN?
I'd say that's "not bad" for a residential ISP.
Most VPN's are limited to 7 mbps (atleast i got that...)
Dunno if this is the same in your case
40mbit down and 1mbit up
but I get around
And how far away is the VPN from you (ping?).
I'd say that the VPN result is not bad, looking at your non-VPN result.
The VPN drivers are limited to a 10mbps interface AFAIK.
Whaa? Why
Dunno, ask to the developers... or re-code your own o_O
They use an SOCKS vpn right? Limitation of SOCKS? Sent a ticket to the staff, maybe they have limits setup...
Its an openVPN on my 128mb VPS
Maybe 10 years ago yes.. I use OpenVPN/PPTP to connect multiple servers and can easily get 60Mbps +
Thats just for show. Its not limited.
@DanielM 's comment brings something to mind: Is this a really LEB at ramhost? As in, while you're doing these tests, is your CPU usage on your VPS spiking to 100% while you're doing these speed tests? If so, it might be a limitation of the VPS's power....
True?
So, then what is limiting us?
Entropy? :P¨
Because the CPU doesn't appear to be the bottleneck
Cpu spikes at 12% while doing the tests, openVPN is using around 12MB of ram.
If I download a file off the server, I can max my downstream.
download the file over the VPN, or just download the file over http?
Shitty Routing/Networks
Speedtest micro, or mini.
Which location of ramhost are you using? Also which platform, OpenVZ or KVM?
@bijan588, Where are you located?
With 60ms ping i could peak out my DSL connection on a OpenVPN proxy located on ramhost servers. (Atlanta location to be exact!)
Dont know about your location but in the UK allot of ISP's seriously throttle VPN traffic unless your on a business broadband package, plusnet and virgin media do this afaik but probably others too.
?? Where'd you get that info from?
My ramhost is 1000mbit/s
As far as I know they don't, they only throttle torrents at peak times after you hit a certain limit or certain usage time. At least that's what they say.
