Very slow speeds in WSL1 with Wiresock VPN client

[stream227]

Does anyone know why I am getting about 1/20th of my download speed in WSL1 when using Wiresock? I’m using Win11 Home. The windows host machine works great.

I’ve tried changing the MTU and tried disabling ipv6 in the adapter. I have to use the -lac option for it to work at all. Wireguard works fine, but of course I don’t get the extra performance that Wiresock could offer if it were working properly.

Thanks

BTW malwarebytes marks ntkernel.com as having a trojan.

Could you please try running WireSock with the logging level set to ‘all’? This will capture the traffic into pcap files, allowing us to check for any anomalies.

Okay I have done this. Which files do you need and do you have any suggestions on how to get these to you securely?

FYI, I tried it with WSL2 Ubuntu and the speed is about 1/3 my normal speed.

Actually, to clarify. WSL2 works without -lac where it’s about 1/3 of my speed. When I add -lac back in I get the same extremely slow speeds.

Hmm, interesting. I’ll make time to look into the issue further.
