Hostbrr Turin VPS + Gluetun = VERY SLOW SPEED; Help?

Hey guys. As the title says, my Linux ISO downloading stack consists of the following:
1. Gluetun powered with ProtonVPN(Wireguard).
2. qBittorrent binded with Gluetun interface.

Prior to moving to Hostbrr's Turin VPS, I was with Netcup Vienna VPS that has the exact same stack and works quite well.
But with Hostbrr, I am getting 200KB/sec upto maximum 1MB/sec with with famous Linux ISOs.

Same magnet file with same VPN location gets me 20MB/sec on Netcup.
Despite being a faster VPS, Hostbrr's performance behind Gluetun is very slow.
At first I thought torrent traffic was being throttled so I downloaded Ubuntu Desktop ISO without gluetun via qbittorrent, it downloaded with 300MB/sec.
I tried fiddiling with MTU settings but nothing improves.

Does anyone know of any possible solutions that I can try? Otherwise I might have to let the VPS expire(as much as it pains me to) because the speed is far too slow to my liking.

  • It seems related to network connections; a Turin CPU does not necessarily mean that it has better connections than netcup's data center. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Not really. I tried several different VPN locations and also without VPN. The issue seems to be related to Gluetun. The main question is, what kind of issue? And how to address those?

    I'm trying to find room to resolve this. It's the DDOS mitigation that throttles Wireguard traffic.

    I hope it's resolved before weekend is over.

    Oh that would make perfect sense. Thanks for the update. Please drop a ping here if the problem is fixed.

    In the meantime if you can use OpenVPN it should work for download, but upload will be lower.

    It does not work. Same issue.

    What solved it is a ticket requesting for DDOS mitigation to be turned off.

    Forgot to add: TCP port instead UDP.. That was working for me

    Tried. Still the same.

    Nevermind. This worked. Thank you.

  • Special thanks to @emperor for helping me out that this can be fixed via TCP on OpenVPN.
    @labze for pointing out that this is a wireguard issue because of ddos mitigation.
