  • 1 MB/s sounds really terrible. Doesn’t seem right.

    I haven’t tried anything like that personally, but I don’t think speeds should be affected that much. Latency should be the main problem.

    I assume you are using a VPN; So which one are you using?

    As far as I know there is absolutely nothing you can personally do on the WAN side of networking (at least on a normal home connection).

    You can’t use static routes in the way you’re likely thinking.

    You can only set up a static route for one hop away. So, static routes don’t work over the internet, because there are a lot of routers (hops) in between the two home routers.

    If you had a really long fiber cable that stretches all the way to your home in Asia it would work.

    What you could do is set up a faster VPN like Wireguard and look for any bottlenecks or issues in either network.






  • I haven’t tried reversing it like that, but I was under the impression that there were no specific servers or clients in WireGuard land and that both devices had to connect to each other and authenticate.

    I have never really thought about how the servers of VPN providers are supposed to work if this was the case.

    I guess I just got confused when I tried setting it up someday.

    I haven’t benchmarked it personally but apparently tailscale and WireGuard are very similar in performance due to optimization done by tailscale. I think they wanted to push the improvements upstream but I am not sure if that happened or if it’s still waiting.


  • WireGuard wouldn’t work with CGNAT. The two servers can’t connect. I can’t get it to work anyways.

    If it weren’t for CGNAT, are you saying that OP could connect all their servers to the VPS using WireGuard and then OP could connect to the VPS? In that case it seems easier to just host a wireguard on one of the servers at home and I highly recommend doing that if you don’t need to deal with CGNAT.

    I think you could host your own Tailscale server on a VPS and then use tailscale on the servers and your client computers/mobile to bypass CGNAT. That’s basically what I am doing right now, except I haven’t hosted my own Tailscale server.
