Just to update, it looks like the latency issues are still really bad, as a result I'm not going to bother trying to fire up the Freedom server for the time being. I was hoping by now the worst of it would have been resolved but it seems to be even worse than last night and considerably less stable from the services I've got in Hetzner trying to talk out to any other part of the internet. I'll keep you all posted on progress.
Should be resolved, your post was still made during the maintenance window
