Just to update on this. I have Charter Internet and I finally tested the OpenVPN client on a device (phone) and I get slow 3-4 Mbps speeds, so I suspect they throttle the OpenVPN connections, which is too bad.
The RT-AC68U with its 800 MHz dual core CPU should give you around 60 Mbps of OpenVPN throughput (I was doing some development work this weekend on it, so I happen to have some very fresh iperf benchmarks results for it), which should be enough for most. If you do need an extra oomph, the RT-AC87U has a 1 GHz CPU.
May I ask what level of encryption you were running?
If it helps i'm using an AC56U overclocked to 1100 and get ~53mbit/s using AES256 CBC encryption via OpenVPN
May I ask what level of encryption you were running?
Ok, then me getting 10-20 Mbps on OpenVPN on a AC87U running AES-256-CBC is normal? Same session but on my PC is running a lot higher.AES-128-CBC, my certificate was either 1024 or 2048 bit - can't recall for sure.

Any tips on those slight changes you made? I got bad speeds in both the latest build and the one before that. Haven't tried any other FW:s.
@RMerlin
(off topic) Do you know how to configure policy rules for the VPN as I need to disallow 2 clients on my network from the VPN and to use my ISP instead, could I PM you rather than discuss in thread?
Thanks.
Thanks, I know to do that but it was to do with the destination IP , should this be set to 0.0.0.0 (any IP)?
Another thing to try is experimenting with the following setting:
"Let the OS manage socket buffers"
Some setups get better performance with it enabled, and for others it's the opposite (which is why I left that option user-configurable).
I don't seem to be able to find this settings on the OpenVPN Client page. Is it supposed to be in the GUI?
Yes, but only on the server, it's not available for clients, sorry.
