This is my first experience with setting up a VPN.
I have Open VPN running at my work network on a firewall/router that uses the PFsense admin software.
I connected to the VPN from my home network successfully.
When I tried to copy a 500k file from a device on the remote network to my home computer it took a very long time (5 minutes or more). My internet connection is fast at both locations, so I'm not sure why this would be.
Is it because of the encryption, or some of the network settings? This is all pretty new to me.
Here is a link to the tutorial I followed. https://www.highlnk.com/2013/12/configuring-openvpn-on-pfsense/
Also my home computer is a mac running the Viscosity OpenVPN client.
