How do you run a speedtest on a VPS?

rchurch

I've noticed that the speed of the connection through my VPN as severely dropped.

A speedof.me test without going through the VPN is about 40Mbps and throught the VPN its about 6Mbps.

So I want to know ff the VPS that runs the VPN service is slow by itself, or my ISP is throttling the speed of the connection to the VPN server.

What tools are the best for that?

iperf.

Off the top of my head:

• use curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -f -g (YABS but with all the tests disabled outside of network tests)
• run iperf(3) to a public server (that is close to your server).
• I guess you could use Speedtest.net's CLI app to test your speeds (not really recommended if your server has a port larger than 1 Gbit/s)

via yabs or speedtest-cli

    3.1 Gbps ↓ / 550 Mbps ↑

Depends which server you're using, most of the ones in big cities can do 10Gbit now
