VPN speed (lemm.ee)

Hello selfhosters,

I recently moved to a new place with faster internet (320/130 Mbps) and now I see that VPN is limiting my torrent speed.

I was testing multiple AirVPN (wireguard) servers and I'm getting 80-120 Mbps on speedtest-cli, but in torrents it goes bit higher to about 180-200 Mbps. I usually use it trought gluetun container, but was also testing with eddie-cli and I get pretty much the same results.

I was reading that people get 600 Mbps and even 1+ Gbps on AirVPN. What is your experience? If this is AirVPN limit, what would you suggest as alternative with port forwarding to saturate my bandwidth? I can live with these speeds, just want to check if there is better alternative or something missconfigured on my side.

Cheers

Bro if you need rediculous speeds like that get a seed box. 200+ is more than enough and you’ll likely cap out on CPU/thread utilization after that.

I don't need, but wasn't sure am I using full capacity of what I'm paying for and want to learn more. This is my hobby, I enjoy setting up things more than using the server lol edit: and yeah feels like CPU capped

Also me in life, in games.. I like min-maxing, making it as efficient as things will allow.

So I asked chatgpt what professions would be best for a person like that and from the 10 answers it spat out, surprise surprise, I've worked as 2 out of the top 3.
