hi, I have an ipsec site to site vpn on my zyxel usg flex 50 with another firewall

zyxel's firmware is 5.38

When I transfer a file from my client to remote server on vpn, I see a different throughput beetwen ipsec vpn and client's ethernet port. First is 64Mbps but client's ethernet speed is 10Mbps

Why? My client is patched directly to zyxel with cat6 cable and port negotiate 1Gb

    What is a speed test for download and upload without a VPN?

    How is the CPU on flex when transfer a file by VPN?

    In monitor > traffic Statistics uncheck Collect Statistics

    Could the other firewall be slowing things down?

    So, I have an update. VPN throughput and lan speed are equal now. But why is vpn speed less than internet bandwidth?

    Example: download/upload from zyxel's wan are 400/30Mb but vpn speed is 10Mb
