So I have my own VPN. I primarily made it to bypass the ridiculous amount of blocked sites at school however I've properly adapted it into my server security. However one of the things that I don't understand is why my speeds are so slow.
Here's a speedtest from the server
It has a 1gig connection and it's a vps from ovh. But when I run a speedtest I only get 2mb download and 10mbps upload. My internet is 100mb download and 10mb upload. So the upload speed makes sense but is there any explanation for a such low download speed? I have a pretty much stock configuration. I have OpenVPN monitor installed on the server and I am the only one connected. Version is 2.5.0 I believe.
Any help would be appreciated because frankly can't pinpoint an issue. I had a VPN setup when I still used hetzner and I always maxed out and the actual internet speeds were the bottleneck not the VPN. The problem with hetzner is that the ping was pretty high at ~150ms. On ovh it's much more acceptable at ~60ms but that's explainable due to the location change. Is it just because hetzner was a dedicated server and ovh is a vps (not dedicated) and I'm just screwed? i don't really know how that works and if the network connection is shared between multiple vps's or not
