Speed testing Visible with a modem

TailScale iperf
  1. Private networks made easy Connect all your devices using WireGuard, without the hassle. Tailscale makes it as easy as installing an app and signing in.
    Pricing:
    File transfer using iperf3 over Tailscale. I noticed that the bandwidth to my home computer (on a 500/500 fiber connection) was higher than with speedtest.net. For the first few days I was getting downloads and uploads of 28Mbps (+/- std dev of 6Mbps) and 150ms latency (+/- 35ms). After somewhere around 100GB total transfer (maybe half of that over Tailscale), it is now downloading and uploading at 10Mbps (+/- 1Mbps). I have not seen a similar throttling in the speedtest.net results, which makes me wonder if it is being throttled by Tailscale. This shouldn't be the case, because Tailscale should generally be able to establish a direct connection, but this isn't guaranteed. So I may have hit an edge case.
