Help me diagnose slow PiVPN speeds

I'm using an Oracle free tier arm VPS on Ubuntu 22.04 as a VPN server. I have set it up with PiVPN + Pihole. The VPS has ipv6 and ipv4 connectivity. When I connect to the VPN (wireguard protocol) and run a speed test on fast.com, I only get around 40 Mbps, while my ISP provides 80 Mbps. If I run the speed test without connecting to the VPN I get around 78 Mbps. How can I diagnose and fix this issue? I am a beginner so detailed instructions would be helpful.

Is the server near you? If its really far away it is to be expected.
Distance, peering, and congestion between you and Oracle.
try pivpn -d , also pihole is acting as your DNS server so you have to troubleshot it as well. Check firewall settings on the pihole machine as well.
It's 2400 km away from my city
