I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.
I’m looking for a new hoster with a better network connection. What real world speeds do you get with your server?
Maybe the issue is that your ISP has bad peering to some networks including the one where your VPS is?
In that case it might be possible to reroute the connection somehow. If another big player has a better connection, someone might use that as proxy. No idea if that really works but it might.
There’s a couple SD-WAN solutions out there that you can do this with. Essentially route all your traffic through one or more VPSes while still keeping things like port forwards and STUN working properly.
I’ve had to use it to enable proper video feeds to and from people that had Spectrum as their ISP.
Very interesting! Thank you so much for chiming in. Always glad to have pros in here.
Where I live I only have LTE/cell for internet. I work from home. I use this https://www.openmptcprouter.com/
So I can have multiple WAN connections at home. Not sure if it would work in reverse. Maybe if you installed it backwards?
Maybe the IPv6 tunnel from Hurricane Electric?
