Hi Guys.

any idea how to increase the speed of data transfer through openvpn i have a 10mb line but upload and download over vpn is like below 100kpbs

What is the CPU usage during transfers?
Which device is running OpenVPN?
How many hops are you adding to the path when you connect to the VPN server?

@DPINoob786 as already stated on different places on this same question, have a look to WireGuard as it has better performance compare to OpenVPN

Do a traceroute or mtr to the destination without VPN and then with VPN.
