Bug: fast locally but slow remotely

[KaKi87]

Is this urgent?

Yes

Host OS

CPU arch

What are you using to run the container

docker-compose

What is the version of Gluetun

Running version latest built on 2023-05-10T09:05:10.273Z (commit 4bb77eb)

What's the problem 🤔

Downloading (e.g. using curl or aria2c) through the HTTP proxy is fast locally but slow remotely :

	Without proxy	With proxy
Local	5 MB/s	10 MB/s
Remote	80 MB/s	1 MB/s

Since remote speed without proxy is greater than local speed with proxy, I'd expect that remote with proxy would be at least as fast as local with proxy.

Share your logs

No output during speedtest (except write: broken pipe when interrupting, which I assume is normal).
