Like that, I also set up a wireguard server on DigitalOcean. It's treating me well. Yesterday there were some slowdowns at around 10 PM. I was afraid today I will not be even able to load Google, but so far, soo good. Near like before latency.

How is Singapore GCP treating you?
 
What’s wireguard?

Click to expand...

But I get pathetic speeds from DO, else DO was the obvious choice. Are you able to download their speedtest files at full speed during the day? Or is the performance better to a VM than their speed test files? 🤔

GCP Singapore is pretty decent, I didn't do proper test during the day so not sure.

GCP doesn't support IPv6, so I've been trying to take advantage of the IPv6 speeds by having a wireguard tunnel over IPv6 but route IPv4 through it. ;) AWS Mumbai has IPv6 so was trying wireguard over it.

And it kind of works. but for higher speeds my Mi Router 3G is the bottle neck :LOL:




It says BSNL, but the traffic is going over AWS Mumbai. At those speeds, all 4 cores on the Mi Router 3G is maxed out. 😁

@varkey how is the latency from GCP to other servers? Last time I tried setting up a VPN on GCP Mumbai, the latency to other servers from GCP was like 300ms to Singapore, 250ms for Germany, etc.
 
@blueman24 Yeah when I did a quick check on GCP Mumbai, the latency was a bit high. Also, they claim to have premium tier network also, where the traffic is carried over Google network the farthest and leaves / enters Google network from your closest POP.

But yeah the latency is higher than from AWS Mumbai to Europe 🤷‍♂️

So far, by tunnel to AWS Mumbai over BSNL seem alright. 🤞

The difference of going direct vs going via the WG tunnel 🤷‍♂️ Good that I spent some time yesterday setting it up. 🚀
