I bought VPS and configured wg-easy, but speed for download is too slow, while speed for uploading is not so bad. Why this might be happening?

    My WG traffic looked like a DOS attack to OVH and I got blackholed for 5min, then 15, then 30.

    My guess is your provider is rate limiting your UDP traffic.

        You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Here’s my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.

            Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I’d look for a different provider if you’re looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.

            Lookup “lowendbox” if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.

                Good luck!

                If you want to stay with whatever provider you have you can try openVPN over TCP or a SOCKS proxy over SSH (both TCP traffic). Anything TCP might be faster than WG

        Is your test TCP or UDP? My guess is that’s TCP traffic.

        Your VPS provider can rate limit as specific as a single UDP port. Try a different WG UDP port or wrap your WG traffic in TCP with other software and try again.
