Applications run slowly on IPSec tunnel

ZadokXerxes

I have configured a site to site VPN between my head office and branch office.

 

However, apps run very slowly at the branch office, when they are accessed from a drive at the Head office.

 

Microsoft Office is an example of this.

 

Can I get suggestions to speed this up, or are there particular configurations I need to make?

    vpn tunnels rely highly on internet speed. (upload and download) - one thing also to consider is bottlenecks in some links in transit.

    could you share your branch and hq xg model, number of users accessing the app, and internet speed (both branch and hq)

    HQ Model: XG210

    Branch Model: XG85

    Users so far on the branch are just three, just person accessing the app at the moment.

    Remember I said office is one of the apps. There are others too.

     

    How do I deal with these bottlenecks you have spoken about?

    Hey  

    To add to what Raphael has already mentioned:

    You would first have to locate what these bottlenecks are in your network (bandwidth, hardware, ISP performing QoS).

    You mention that only your branch users are affected, when they try to access apps/data from a drive located in your HQ?

    • What is the bandwidth for branch's ISP connection?
    • How is bandwidth for non-VPN destined traffic?
    • How are speeds for your HQ users to your branch site?

    I'd also suggest to look online for more information regarding IPsec VPN bandwidth testing and useful tools to help to you (ex: iPerf).
