1 or 2GB VPS in Frankfurt or Paris - Want to run a ZeroTier "Moon" No UDP blocking/filtering

Bought a VPS on Cyber Monday for this task. Got around to installing ZeroTier. UDP is blocked and the host isn't smart enough to figure it out. So need a replacement. Prefer AMD in case I repurpose later.

UDP is blocked? What? Like completely, for the whole host? Which host is this?
Hi,
Maybe our Ryzen Pico would be of interest to you?
It has the following specifications:
It is located in Germany, Frankfurt am Main (Equinix FR5).
Price: $14.85 per year
Link: https://cp.inra.io/store/ryzen-vps/pico
We could provide a small AMD Ryzen VPS in Germany:
1C 7950X3D, 2GB RAM, 20GB NVMe, 1G Uplink, 4TB Traffic for 15€/Annually excl. VAT

I'd heard of ZeroTier before, but just checked their website and noticed the big banner at the top:
I'll be sticking with Wireguard for now.
I't s a perfect little chick. I love it!
Maybe not all the ports, but the one ZeroTier uses was. This is a crap provider who does not comprehend the written word. On the basis of YABS for an old Broadwell Intel VPS, 200 mb/s 4k read write, I bought two more deals. These are supposed to AMD Ryzen, but the I/O is around 50 mb/s 4k read write.
I tried explaining this to the host that it made no sense to have better IO performance out of much older hardware p there was a problem with the AMD server. But, the host couldn't understand this simple fact.
Anyway, I am too old to get involved in drama here by naming and shaming. I just am very grateful that YABS can guide my VPS purchases.
Thanks. I will purchase to try things out. I purchased from Nova first as I already have a storage VPS with them that is excellent, very good YABS I/O. It replaced a storage vps from a provider that was very cheap, but was doing around 1 MB/s IO on the 4K read/write.
Purchased. My ZeroTier Moon is already up and running. This is an EXCELLENT provider, and I would unreservedly recommend them to anyone, good prices, good products, excellent, fair service.
I don't know if you are in US - I know a lot people here aren't. That is classic lawyer language. This is the same lawyer mentality that has the warning "don't eat the box" on frozen pizzas. It is for liability concerns. If you are in the US, you learn to read through this stuff constantly.
ZeroTier works great for me. The only problem I have, not ZeroTier's fault is that Orange in Europe advertises 1GB/s, but it shapes and throttles access to the US. So my remote workers can only get around 1 mb/s through put to my MS 2022 server with it.
ChatGPT, my IT assistant ( WAY better than Indian IT help you find on Fiverr - ask me how I know) suggested a moon in Europe to increase throughput. The moon is up and running on @NovaCloudHosting and I will see how it improves throughput, testing here shortly.
My worker has finished testing with iperf3. Before the @NovaCloudHosting moon VPS, 1 mb/s. Now with it installed 5-7MB/s throughput, which is similar to what my South American workers get with their ISP, no auxiliary moon. So IMHO, ZeroTier is a great service and easily beats Tailscale that I tried before. Tailscale relays. So, we could never even get 1 mb/s from Europe.
Hi,
Melbicom has VPS in Frankfurt and Paris:
CPU 1 core
RAM 2GB
Storage 20GB
Bandwidth up to 1 Gbps
Monthly quota 5TB
The price is 3.9 €/month
You can take a look here: https://www.melbicom.net/virtualserver/?utm_id=2025_BSTForum100
Any VPN should be practically zero overhead. Wireguard, which Tailscale is based on, can do 25gbit/s without any issues.
The speed differences you are seeing are probably not caused by the VPN protocol, likely a misconfiguration/network issue.
100% wrong.
First of all, every vpn has overhead, ppoe, ipsec, tailscale, wireguard, zerotire and etc. Everyone.
Yes, wireguard could show you 25gbps, on 40g or 100g uplink. Don't forget between two points connected via any vpn traffic faced with hundreds routers.
But direct connection couldn't guarantee to you fast connection, too. I have 2 vps's in one DC and direct connection between this vps's 10g, but when I run zt or tailscale it shows 125-150mbps. I remember you tailscale based on wg, but original wg could be 10x times faster than ts.
I tried most of them and my numbers wery close to numbers from screenshot. ZT in my case show 125mbs, but after last update, some of my nodes shows the same 125mbs for ts.
PS zt and ts connection are direct.

You mean 100% right.
Like I said, "likely a misconfiguration/network issue".
The encryption is not the bottleneck, modern CPUs can encrypt at speeds far exceeding 25Gbit, and the Wireguard protocol itself is very simple and adds practically no overhead.
So when saturating a 25Gbit link you should be losing a few mbit tops.
In your case it's a networking issue, you said your two points have a good link between them but if the route through the VPN is worse then obviously your network performance will be bottlenecked by that.
Wireguard itself is not the cause of that. You could set up a Wireguard connection between the two nodes, without an intermediary, and would see 10g speeds.
I mean what I mean. You wrong.
Wireguard, zerotire, tailscale, ipsek, ppoe, openvpn, everyone is product, if everyone gives you speed under your direct speed - it is overhead. Most of them gives to you 10% of the original speed. Except one, which gives you 90% of spee, but still stolen about 10% of your channel. In this cases you cant say
Because only one in some cases gives you about 90% of channel speed.
Ah sry didnt know ur retarded.
If your routing to whatever VPN server you're using sucks then that's not Wireguard's fault. Wireguard itself will be 0.1% overhead tops. You could easily verify this on LAN if you weren't utterly incompetent.
Being incompetent is okay, being ignorant isn't.
Oh, I see in your world cold be only your opinion, all others is stupid. FU AH. 🖕
