OpenVPN performance after updating to 380.63 beta 2

[Goobi]

I recently updated my 68U from 380.58 to 380.63 Alpha 2 (sorry for the typo in the title). Prior to the update, I was getting 40 - 50 Mbps download on my host server. After the update, I am getting about 10 Mbps. I am using PIA on the router.

I was able to get those speeds 46-50 Mbps speeds after adding the following firewall rules based on the "OpenVPN Performance" thread:

##OpenVPN Marking
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun21 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j MARK --or-mark 0
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun11 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j MARK --or-mark 0
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun13 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j MARK --or-mark 0
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun15 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j MARK --or-mark 0

My questions are:
1. Do the above rules still apply to boost OpenVPN client performance on the router?
2. Has anyone seen any drop in OpenVPN client performance after update to 380.63?

I would hate to go through the process of downgrading, but the difference in OpenVPN client performance between the two levels is significant enough to warrant down-leveling. I was hoping that maybe the above rules are no longer applicable and perhaps contributing to the problem at 380.63.

Thanks in advance.

No issues here with OpenVPN performance.

I switched to a different PIA VPN server and noticed the performance improved back to what I am used to so it must have been something with that PIA server that was causing my low throughput that happen to be around the same time I had upgraded my router leading me to think it could have been code related. All is good now.

I do want to know if the above iptable rules are still needed? I used these from back in 380.58 and wondering if they are still need with 380.6x or higher. Thanks!
