[Solved] Slow WAN => LAN but not when going through tun0

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I've having a strange issue that I can't figure out what's causing.

Using a WRT1900ACS with stock 18.06.1. I have 100Mbps down from my ISP and can't seem to get over 9Mbps on clients that AREN'T tunneled through OpenVPN.

From OpenWRT router to ISP provided modem, I can get the full 100Mbps running speedtest-cli directly on the router.
But from a wired desktop attached to WRT19000ACS, I can't get over 9-10Mbit.

So I know my connection to ISP modem is fine, because the router can do it by itself, I can also get a full gigabit on client to client on LAN with iperf, so I know the clients and wiring is fine. Once I try and go LAN => WAN, my speeds drop like a rock, but LAN => WAN through an OpenVPN tun0 is also fine.

What gives??

What are your MTU settings? Those symptoms sound as if there might be some fragmentation going on.

MTU is untouched on all interfaces, so 1500?

Well well, indeed you were right.

Turns out I had MSS clamping set wrong in my firewall config. Thanks for your suggestion!
