VPN latency for international users

dclab
Greetings,
We're using the SSL VPN for our users to make secure RDP sessions to our office.  This is working fine for our 'local' users in the US, however we have a handful of staff in Israel who report that SSL is too slow to be usable.  Currently the fallback has been for them to use PPTP which works sufficiently.

I'm seeking advice on how to troubleshoot these international users to see what can be done to improve their performance.  Obviously the stronger encryption is increasing  the overhead for them, but PPTP is showing it's age.  I'm running an ASG220 on 8.103, SSL VPN is using a 2048 key size.  If a smaller key is the solution, is there a way to implement that without requiring all my US users to download new keys?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Bruce, I thought you were the one that taught me the trick of speeding up the SSL VPN by using UDP instead of TCP.

    If you change to 1024 and/or UDP, the users will need the new key and config files.

    Cheers - Bob
