Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Actually in my case it did help. I got faster speed to one of my VPS in Paris (OVH) if I use VPN to Singapore first. Heck, even my VPS in Singapore (also OVH) is faster too after connecting to the VPN. My ISP probably really have a bad peering with OVH.
That's interesting. Any chance your ISP could have been qos'ing streaming video? Although Singapore would be about the one place where a VPN concentrator would help; it is pretty much the big fiber hub in that local region for East, West, North connectivity.

I don't think they have QoS beyond enforcing soft data cap at 2TB. Another weird thing I notice with this ISP is how bad sites hosted behind cloudflare would perform. It usually fine, but sometimes they have random high latency on random assets (js, css or image files), and when it happens the speed to that site would tank too to just a few hundred KB/s or less. When it happens it'll magically gone by using a VPN.
