How to check Download and Upload Speed (Single Connection) between Home Broadband and VPS?

[Deleted member 63558]

I did, It says "Connection Refused".

I am basically not able to install iperf3 on the Ubuntu Linux. It has iperf2 pre-installed.

I tried a lot of shit since then but not working.

Try sudo apt update && sudo apt purge iperf* && sudo apt install iperf3 on the vps

How would I check the upload speed?

Just copy the file in the other direction using WinSCP itself?

Windows PC

Iperf does not require open ports. Use the -R flag for reverse speeds.

Confused, you need to be able to connect to the iperf instance running in server mode right? So the port needs to be open.

@ajgamer Which is the VPS provider? You need to ensure that any access policies or firewalls in between are configured to allow connections to port 5201 on the VPS instance from at least your home network's public IP address.

I'm using AWS right now.

So the rest of my answer applies

So you mean to say I have to open the port which iperf is using right?

Yes, in AWS world its called Security Group. If you have a firewall service running on the VM itself which is blocking traffic, you need to add an allow rule there as well.
