VirtualBox + OpenVPN on Guest Windows is Slow

Post by pmwaters »

I'm using Win 7 64 bit Host. The following guest machines are using bridged networking and an OpenVPN connection is being made on the guest machine. Here are my results from speedtest.net:

Win 7 32 bit - 0.5mb down reported from speedtest.net
WinXP - 5mb down
Lubuntu (linux) - 15mb down

When not connected to the VPN, all machines get around 30mb down from speedtest.net.

What could be the cause of the extremely slow speed on Windows XP and moderate speed on Windows 7? Let me know what other info you need...

Thanks!
