Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server?

Connecting remotely to your home devices is dependent on your home internet connection’s upload speed, which is usually a fraction of the download speed.
Then add the overhead of the VPN (Tailscale) and how dirext of a connection it’s able to make.
Then the connection of the device you’re testing from - it may have some bandwidth limitations.

Tailscale, which is wireguard is pretty lightweight protocol wise, so the overhead is usually not significant in my experience.
However, some devices don’t accelerate the crypto well, which can dramatically reduce speeds. My pi4 definitely struggles with it.
At 3mb/s, I would question if OP is getting relay’d, or possibly hitting some pretty bad packet loss.

I would suspect he’s getting relayed, and I suspect I was too for my test.
