Slow connection with PIA inside of container #217

Closed theotherp closed 4 years ago

theotherp commented 4 years ago

I'm using your container with PIA and their next-gen servers. I'm getting slow torrent speeds (and almost no upload) so I decided to test the connection speed and compare it. I ran https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py from inside the container with VPN enabled and got 40Mbit/s. With VPN disabled I got 200Mbit/s.

Connecting to the same PIA server using their client on my host machine the speed test gives me about 180Mbit/s (without VPN I get 700Mbit/s).

Any ideas why this may happen? Thanks.

Btw, do I need to remove anything except username and password from log_sanitized.log?

i see your host is running windows, i would suspect the issue is with docker running on windows as opposed to the container itself. sadly my dl/ul rates aren't too high for my connection, so i can only max out at 32Mb/s, but it does max my line out.

i have heard of people running my image who have achieved a lot higher speeds than what you are reporting so that does give me confidence there are no inherent issues with the image.

thats all that is really required, but some people are more paranoid and remove remote ip addresses, dns etc, but its really not necessary imho.

I'll try and get a dual boot running and see if it's faster with linux as host OS.

Edit: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/855 describes the same problem, especially the last comment. It's not as bad in my case but sounds like I'll either have to live with it or find another solution to run only deluge via VPN. Thanks.

For the record: PIA client 1.5 supports routing only certain applications through the VPN. It's not as tight as using a container but it does deliver the expected speeds.

You might wanna switch from openvpn to wireguard in your container settings, it got me from +-400KiB/s to over 10MB/s, tested on multiple servers.
