Optimal settings between XP boxes: msg#00505

Subject: Optimal settings between XP boxes

Hey everyone,

I just started using openvpn and I must say it's a great program!

I'm running 2.0_beta6 in server mode over an ADSL connection. I can connect to
my friend who has a 56k dial-up using TAP.

We're mainly using this so we can play LAN games over the internet. As soon as
we go to play a game he starts getting "connection problems". Is there a way I
can optimise settings to improve performance? Or is it just because he's on
dial-up?

I noticed I was getting replay/backtrack issues so i added the no-replay option.

Here is the server config:
port 5000
dev tap
no-replay
tls-server
ca sample-keys/tmp-ca.crt
cert sample-keys/server.crt
key sample-keys/server.key
dh sample-keys/dh1024.pem
mode server
ifconfig 10.3.0.1 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool 10.3.0.10 10.3.0.20
ping 10
ping-restart 120
push "ping 10"
push "ping-restart 60"
verb 4

There's nothing special in the client config (I pretty much just used the
sample and changed the remote setting to point to my IP and added the no-replay)

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Regards,

Adam.
