Our server is accessed by remote offices over VPN. All clientcomputers have
their documents redirected to server.
In case you connect to within the same area as the server over LAN (no vpn).
Everything is fine. No big surprise since the 100Mbs connection to the server
is used.
Over VPN the sped is 1.8Mbs and even opening a small document takes half a
minute. Everytime you open a file from your documents a window appears saying
something like "Contacting server ...". Opening large word documents is just
painfully slow.
We use NETGEAR FVX538 (serverside) and FVS338 (remote offices). These might
not be the top of the line products but they should be more than sufficient
for our needs. Bandwidth has never been an issue .
Ive been recommended to install terminal servers for the remote offices to
solve the problem. But that just isnt an option. Our remote offices are
connected to the internet through 10Mbit Ethernet network connections.
Physical speed to server is 10 Mbit download 8.5 Mbit upload (sending data to
server over internet/ftp to the servers external ip).
VPN and HTTP is not comparable, but still 1.8 Mbit is way to slow in my
opinion.
I would like advice how to prod and poke my VPN to make it perform faster.
Any suggestions were to start?
