How much is the downlink? (rsync needs a good deal of bi-dir exchanges)

Make sure you only use one compression order in any place (either
backuppc or openvpn, NOT both).

And as you have a fixed IP address, why not simply use a regular SSH
connection instead of openvpn? (I've seen it ridiculed by a simple
remote desktop connection on w$…)
