I've got HTML5 VPN setup in a few location now to start testing with my clients. The biggest thing that I've noticed is that RDP and HTML speed and latency is pretty bad. I've tested this on a UTM120, UTM220 and Software Appliance running an i5 Intel with 4GB of RAM. My Internet connection at all of these locations is 50Mbps/5Mbps. So we have plenty of bandwidth. When I connect to an RDP Session on our Terminal Server or Workstations the initial screen takes some time to load. While navigating through Windows everything has a delay and doesn't respond well to keep the session flowing and transparent to the end user.
I've also tested speeds using the SSL VPN Client and MS RDP Client. Speeds through this VPN Tunnel are perfect. In full screen you wouldn't even know that you were using a Terminal Server or RDP session to a workstation.
I know that HTML5 VPN is a brand new product for Sophos, but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this when using HTML5 VPN. It seems like I'm actually launching a Linux Windows processed by the UTM and then connected using rdesktop. That's just how the setup feels to me. I'm not sure if that is actually how it works or not.
Any insight would be helpful. I like the concept and hope that Sophos puts it on the front burners to tweak.
