When our employee that just moved to India connects to our VPN using the Global VPN Client his connection is really slow. Even just trying to copy files from our network to his local drive it is getting less than 1 Mbps speeds. He is using Jio Fiber and his laptop is connecting via wifi but doing an internet speed test he is getting roughly 500 Mbps upload and download speeds. He didn’t seem to have any issues when he was in the US but now that he is in India it is being slow.
Any help is appreciated.
NSa 2700 with firmware version 7.1.2-7019 with IP6 disabled
Sonicwall Global VPN Client 4.10.8.1108
VPN client connects to the NSa 2700 using an IPSEC tunnel to get to our internal network then maps to a Windows shared folder once connected.
Try disabling RSC via cmd/Powershell as I just went through this exact thing with a client.
Running SMB which is designed to operate over LAN latencies at probably 200ms of latency is going to be awful, if you can’t change where you store things then provision a virtual desktop for this user.
I have an employee working in Thailand (home base NC), and he has the same issue. And file transfer work is extremely slow. But oddly giving him a Remote Desktop viewer type application to an in office computer is much faster. He loads files to OneDrive to work on them, then uploads back to server at end of day. Not great, but it works.
Well he is all the way in India. You know they have little kids there banging out the ones and zeroes by hand with rocks, right?
What do you really expect to be honest?
I appreciate the help but unfortunately that didn’t work. We disable that initially because it would slow down even internet traffic to 4Mbps or less. I verified it using the provided instructions. I just updated his wifi driver so we will see if that has any affect.
RDP sips bandwidth. It’s great
