This may have been a red herring, because after disconnecting and reconnecting to the VPN, speeds would go right back to ~15 Mbps.Īnd in my attempts to resolve this issue, I upgraded VirtualBox to 5.0.14, and now the TAP interface has a different checkbox, named "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" but checking or unchecking it has no effect. VirtualBox is installed (but I'm connecting to the VPN from the physical, non-virtualized desktop) and for a while if I unchecked the "VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver" checkbox on the TAP Interface connection's properties (right-click, Networking tab) while the VPN was connected, I could get better speeds. I'm running OpenVPN 2.3.10 x86_64-w64-mingw32 and have tried a variety of versions of TAP drivers, but they all get around the same speed.

When I connect to my server with OpenVPN installed (it can download at 500+ Mbps) I get a max of 15 Mbps, and often less. My download speeds without a VPN are 200+ Mbps.
