What are good ways to check for packet loss?

I would make sure you have a full connection in tailscale, not a relayed one. That will kill your speed.
Also check packet loss, if you are losing lots, tailscale seems to suffer badly.
Re: trickery, some ISPs have done sneaky shit like prioritising speedtest sites, while throttling everything else.

IDK if it’s the “best” way, but generally I just let
pingrun for a while and check the statistics at the end
Yes, and I really dislike that. In my estimation, speed.cloudflare.com gives you a more comprehensive snapshot. Sites like fast.com, or you ISP’s own speed test usually concentrate on download speed and don’t actually measure under load, along with other variables.

Fast is good because its hosted by Netflix, so isps can’t throttle Netflix without impacting fast.
The cloudflare one of new to me, thanks!
