I have some VMs with minimum network speed of 1G
I need to connect each VM via a split tunnel.
While the raw speed between VMs are 1G but over the tunnels , the speed is down to 10% of the max speed (100M).
My question is that what and where are the bottlenecks?
I am expecting to see near 800M ~ 900M
Tests have been done using iperf3 and three VPN softwares
- SoftEther VPN (Dev version v5+)
- ocserv / openconnect
- wireguard
NOTE:
There is no users on these servers, CPUs are idle. Servers are connected via split tunnels

WireGuard
is twice faster near 200M
