Slow Connection When Tunneling using DigitalOcean
I tried squid and ssh tunneling, connection speed is only a few kBps. Even opening google took minutes.
I tried wget from the server and got mBps speed. But why it give me slow connection when tunneling through it?
I tried tunneling using servers from online.net and some other providers, I can get up to 1mBps download speed..
The weird things is, I had 2 droplet from DO and a few days back, both of them give slow speed at the same time.. I reinstalled but still the speed just a few kBps.

Have you thought about contacting their support about the issue?
Where you tunneling from?
You should run a ping/traceroute from you to the droplet, then from the droplet to the location that you are trying to reach when noticing slow performance. The problem will most likely be found in these details. You can post them here or open a ticket
I searched the internet and found a post on a forum. He recommend OP to do a simple wget. I did. He asked OP to contact DO if the wget had drop inthe speed. But wget from my droplet got a pretty good speed. The speed drop when I Tunneling through the droplet either by SSH or squid.
From Malaysia, if that you meant for you question
OK. I will try now
Check your MTU. The Debian kernel I had when I last set up a new VPN suffered from MTU collapse. See the bottom of our page on Tunnels (https://www.x4b.net/kb/Tunnels) for more information on tunnel collapse.
is this recently ?
Because Malaysia had issues with their international link (not sure already fixed or not). Then all traffic is re-route through Singapore. This causing bottleneck.
Not only DO Singapore affected. Same goes to Amazon AWS Singapore. I read some of them move their DO/AWS to other location first.
However I used to use DO for ssh tunnelling, not that satisfied with the speed. So I just stick with BuyVM one.
@Jar I dont really know how to read this result, whether it is ok or not.
I never had this problem for about 2months.. This happened just a few days back. Both my DO droplet had slow connection when tunneling through them. I even destroy and create new droplet, still same issue.
Should I contact them? I got a few other servers around for ssh tunneling and squid proxy, but still I need those Singapore location
Sending you a PM
I think the problem is DO itself, and then DiGi. When I last run a SG DO droplet, it cannot even download a 1.5MB file (PolarSSL source code), without failing at 50-60% mark. Dropped packet is also common at huge parts of the day.
Then, you are also using DiGi. Only masochists use them.
you can contact them, but if the connection from My to SG bottleneck, what can they do?
