Weird watching this coffee shop wifi's QoS. My first upload (three big WAV files) went up at 850KiB/s but the rest of the files are trickling up at 40KiB/s. Same AWS S3 CLI command. Odd. But it's getting there, if slowly.

I can't work out whether in this case it makes sense just to push everything through a VPN. Benefits are it becomes impossible for them to inspect the files; downsides are that everything might be throttled in the same way. But as long as the files upload, I'll be happy.

@james I’d definitely encourage that. My go to these days is @tailscale as it’s super simple to setup and use, and you can have multiple exit nodes.

@jsbilsbrough Cheers. While I have Tailscale, unclear how it would help here. I'm a Proton VPN user otherwise: I just don't often turn it on. Perhaps I should...

@james Proton is nice too.Tailscale is a bit different as it won’t auto route your traffic unless you setup and select an exit node - that can be at your home or in some hosting.We use it to allow my partner to show as having a UK IP - she has her exit node set to my Pi in my office.

@jsbilsbrough @james Always push all traffic through the VPN. Otherwise you are leaking a lot. Sometimes in ways you can't predict (i.e. bugs, like the DNS issue from last year).
