    Abysmally slow UDP upload speeds, but only over wireless?

    I posted this issue in a discussion about the new AC86U (which rocks) but thought I’d post to the general vpn group, as I’m not sure my issue is device specific. My problem relates to using UDP as my OpenVPN protocol. When I do, I get fantastic download speeds (close to what I get without a...

    Okay, the issue with my upload speeds over wireless appears to be related to using UDP in the openvpn settings. If I switch to TCP my wireless upload speeds are great. Within 10% of my wired speeds and several times faster than UDP. But unfortunately my wireless download speeds get cut almost...
