    What is wrong with Wireguard?

    OpenVPN is suited better for bypassing firewalls.
    Their TCP proto is very nice.

    However, @MannDude can take a look at https://github.com/mullvad/udp-over-tcp
    You can make Wireguard mask better.

    does anyone mind sharing NL vpn server hostname/ip?
    I don't want to claim a slot because I'm unlikely to use it a long run.
    I just want to check a few things

    thanks

    23.137.250.9 if my investigation skills are useful.

    Maybe the IP's they give aren't same for everyone. That is different from one the one I was assigned.

    Maybe its that one or the .6 I think. I am bored.

    More than one is in use per location. PM me and I can give you a more specific answer.

    @maxwell said: Peering from the German Telekom is pretty bad to the NL Server.... getting like 60mbit with the US one its maxed out....

    Worldstreams peering with DTAG is the worst connection you'll ever see imho :(

    You get better peerings to Australia or the US than WS NL from DTAG (on the route via Amsterdam, haven't seen a route via Frankfurt yet). ymmv.

    (At least as long you don't pay for their premium-network upgrade at about $99/month/server....)

    Edit: sorry for offtopic. The service and beta tests offered by MannDude looks great.

    I'm just so frustrated about the DTAG<->WS routes that I always jump when I see someone mentioning it. And WS network is great in general, just not in peering with DTAG where you can go down to bits per second throughput...

    I'd expect better speeds from Germany, even if this is capped at 100Mbps. Luxembourg may serve you better when it's ready.

    So far, what I'm discovering is, I may have over estimated resource needs for this. The Idaho server has 150 peers added to it, 10 currently active.

    Resource wise, I'm not seeing RAM really ever go above 200MB and CPU load is always at 0.05 or less.

    I'll probably remove all of the profiles that haven't connected and re-open the Idaho beta so I can get a better picture of what heavier usage of the service may look like.

    That's the last 48 hours. Much less than I, or likely most of you, may have imagined.


    Question: Any interest in being able to spin up multiple configurations for the same location with your own dedicated IP? For example, you get a NY VPN with your own dedicated IP, and you can great, say, 5 WG profiles on your own private network? Can enable internal networking so your different devices can communicate over 10.1.2.0/24 or whatever is assigned to you.

    Would be nice if It had port forwarding. Similar to what OVPN offers.
    Dedicated IP + Open Ports, can be useful for a "reverse proxy" etc.
    However you would either have to develop a system that does not directly link dedicated IP back to the customer, or utilize some really nice law so even American IP's are dmca "ignored"(just like with "classic" vpn providers).

    Usually Worldstream works great for me.

  • @treesmokah said: However you would either have to develop a system that does not directly link dedicated IP back to the customer

    Cyberghost claims to have done that.

    OVPN for example forwards abuse reports back to the customer, but not DMCA from what I remember.

  • From AT&T Internet, Texas:

    Direct Connection to SpeedTest server (HostSailor Ltd, Naaldwijk)
    DL 105| UL 152

    Through NL to the same SpeedTest server
    DL 38.3| UL 28.8 Mbit

    I was late to the 'beta', but got this.

    OpenVPN is suited better for bypassing firewalls.

    In what way? They both make outgoing connections to well known ports. Then it becomes DPI targeted specifically to block it, just like anything.

    Their TCP proto is very nice.

    You're doing it wrong.

    Remember that I'm capping speeds at 100Mbps on these, so you'll never see more than that. :)

    Has anyone had any issues with ad blocking being too aggressive? Less than 10% of requests have been blocked, but I didn't want to be too aggressive with the blocklists.

    I may do these with different DNS settings:

    • Option 1: Blocks nothing by default
    • Option 2: Blocks all known ads/trackers from public blocklists
    • Option 3: Same as option 2 + additional blocking of known malware/scam/phishing sites
    • Option 4: Same as option 3 + with adult sites blocked / family safety filter.

    The way things are set now, things are set with option 2 from above.

    OpenVPN has many built in obfuscation methods, they only work with TCP, many networks have udp blocked entirely.
    Its slowly changing, but still - udp is well suited for bypassing firewalls, tcp is even better due to its use literally everywhere, blocking it will disconnect you from many services.

    Due to wide TCP use, you can made certain packets to look like something commonly used.
