EDIT: yes, I did mean "...=1" sorry, I copy and pasted from a script of mine to toggle it on demand and I copied the wrong line.

Then reopen a web browser and see if it's better. If it is better, then we can worry about adding the kernel parameter to your boot loader to make it permanent, and I'd need to know what boot loader you use.
If this doesn't make it any better, my next suspicion would be your MTU setting which can be found in the output of `ip link`. (edit: oops, you already included this in your first post) 1500 is fairly standard AFAIK, but depending on your setup (router, etc) sometimes this needs to be changed. But first try the ipv6 check.

]]>Hi, I installed Arch in a VM using VMWare 9 a few days ago. Everything is going pretty smoothly but I notice that the internet / browsing on this is significantly slower than on my ubuntu VM as well as my windows host machine. I am pretty noob about networking so I will try my best to include all pertinent information but if I leave something out just say so.
When i say slow, web pages take probably 4 or 5 seconds to load as opposed to 1 second on ubuntu / windows.
Ping MS is generally 2 or 3 times higher as well.
One more thing, when I go to ping addresses it will sometimes hang for 5 or 6 seconds before sending the pings.
Installed on VMWare 9.
using openvpn (ubuntu is also using that)
using a bridged connection via VMWare.
my network service is dhpcd@enp2s1.service
output from ifconfig:

I haven't touched any network config except I added a nameserver to resolv.conf.head
I've tried looking around on the forums but I know next to nothing so I haven't been able to make sense of, or execute any of the suggestions.
Some suggestions say to look at /etc/rc.conf but I do not have that file.
If I left out something important just let me know, thanks in advance for any help!
