Hi,

I’m currenty using Oracle Free Tier for Jellyfin (hosted in Paris) and i wanted to know what is the proper way to speed up media delivery when i’m far away from the server location ? (Korea currently)

EDIT : After all your replies, my VPN through Hong Kong give me the best speed.

    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.
