Hostbrr throttling Ports?
Hello,
I have ordered a Hostbrr vps cause I had a good experience with them beginning of the year.
I installed Wireguard on the vps, I do get 1-2MBit data rate and high packetloss. Port 51820 / 48888 same low rate and low responsibility. I changed the Port to 430 to test, data rate is much much higher, 150-160MBit/s upload weirdly is only around 20 from my 40. The response time is still low tho and I do get weird latencys.
I have checked their terms of service, they do NOT mention anywhere throttling. But maybe I did something wrong?

Try openvpn?
OpenVPN with UDP would have the same problem. With TCP it would work. But I dont want to use OpenVPN, it's too slow.
Hmm, what's the target speed? 160mbps should be reachable
I have a Hostbrr VPS, and just tested using wg-easy. ~150mbps down/~40mbps up across two speed test runs. I don't think there's any specific filtering going on because I'm using the default port.
I've always found their support very responsive. I'd reach out if the problem persists - Could be an issue with your specific node.
i send my borgbackup to hostbrr vps that has storage box using wireguard, so far never had any problem with the speed so i'd say it's high likely on your side (like getting a derp routing from your isp, or your isp are bandwidth-shaping udp traffic)
but just in case can ping @labze

TL;DR: WG working fine for me and has as far as I can remember
I just tested another ISP cause I thought it might have been a problem with German Telekom. But also O2 and Vodafone have the same results, 1-2MBit and extremely slow response rate.
I don't know what the problem is, so far it's on HostBrr side. Another Provider hosting in the same data centre in Frankfurt I get much higher speeds, over 100MBit.
I opened a ticket.
It’s their DDoS mitigation. It can be disabled
That definitely sounds odd, especially if changing the port takes you from 1–2 Mbit/s to 150–160 Mbit/s. I’d open a ticket with them first and include iperf results and traceroutes so they can check whether there’s any filtering or UDP handling affecting the connection.
If you end up testing another provider to compare, we’re CubePath and offer Cloud VPS. Could be useful just to see whether you get the same WireGuard behavior on a different network.
I had similar issue with them last year when I had a VPS with them.
Open a ticket and ask Labze to disable DDoS protection on your VPS. That interferes with high bandwidth UDP based traffic. It will fix the issue for you.
I received an answer from HostBrr.
You guys were right with the DDOS filter.
They're quick!
Already answered and disabled the DDOS filter for my machine.
I get fullspeed now and no weird slowness aside the previous slow bandwith.
Ah, I never run services except a very few ones on default ports. Great to know and happy you got it solved easily
