• Ask HN: Is Comcast ripping me off and how can I prove it?

  Try hosting a DIY speed test on a cloud server (like Google colab or the free oracle instances or whatever): https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• SSLVPN - Fluctuating bandwith

  It should be DIA. They provide the internet connection to the company since 2 decades and it's a very small ISP, so it's very vague in terms of contract. Iperf was giving me very terrible results with TCP, UDP was giving me a couple of Gbit/s throughput, definitely a wrong result. We are using this self hosted speedtest. All my results above are based on this software: Https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest. Source: over 1 year ago

• Speedtests

  Put a copy of Librespeed on a web server that's accessible through the VPN and told them to use that. For (our) convenience, it's logged into a database that's correlated with the VPN login/logout times so the users don't even need to log in to use it, but we still know whose test result it is.

• Fooling My ISP

  There is a selfhosted solution for speed testing called LibreSpeed. You could try it and see the results. Source: over 1 year ago

• How much are you 'trusting' a docker image from hub.docker.com?

  In this particular instance though, adolfintel appears to be the developer of Librespeed. The official documentation in that GitHub repo points to that docker image by adolfintel. Therefore, it counts as the official docker image in my book. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Stream stuttering hard for no apparent reason

  You could self-host this - and use it from the TV. Most devices have a web browser and that's all it needs. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Press 'Enter' to Run a SpeedTest (Update v2.5.4) - Self-Hosted SpeedTest - Docker

  I really like this project in compare to LibreSpeed or Speed Test, since it doesn't requires docker, PHP, nodejs or other heavy stuff, just a static web server is sufficient for a quick local speed test! Source: almost 2 years ago

• Free & Open-Source HTML5 SpeedTest That Only uses built-in Web APIs like XMLHttpRequest (XHR), HTML, CSS, JS, & SVG

  How does this compare to https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest ? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Self-Hosted Network SpeedTest - Docker Image

  For anyone looking for an actually open source speed test that you can self-host: https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Speedtest server on hetzner

  Https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest on a dedicated hetzner server with 10Gbit Uplink so we could test actual performance from some client sites to the Hetzner DC. Source: almost 2 years ago

• It's called WFH, not Work From Car through mountains with no signal

  Work with IT management to get a minimum WFH requirement setup. Something that specifies minimum internet speed. If you can use infrastructure, setup a internal Speedtest website at your datacenter and cloud hosting provider so you can show users that they aren’t meeting the specified guidelines and need to upgrade internet, go somewhere with faster internet or return to the office. Here is a link to a Speedtest... Source: about 2 years ago

• Best/Most Accurate Speed Test Site for Live Streaming Applications

  Then install this: Https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest Which will give you some basic information. Source: over 2 years ago

• OpenSpeedTest as a Service on Windows Server 2022

  I like https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest much easier to install. Source: over 2 years ago

• A friend of mine can't afford a new gaming PC so I offered to let him play on my laptop using Steam Remote Play since we both have fibre internet. This is him getting reacquainted with CSGO after not playing in years.

  I have LibreSpeed setup on a simple web server for testing my line speed and when he tested his connection against that he got a latency result of 10.4ms. The CSGO server was also about 10ms, so he was effectively playing with a combined latency of about 20ms which I don't think is too bad for FPS games. Source: over 2 years ago

• Internet magically gets faster when opening speedtest?

  Https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest For those who need to document lower speeds than SLAs from their ISPs, this will help you check for chicanery, shenanigans, and sneaky QoS. Recommend. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Plex flagged as pirating software by ISP and being throttled on user end

  Have the server side put a speedtest (something like https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest is easy to set up) and run a test and then connect to plex. Source: over 2 years ago

• is it possible to host a personal local speed test server on a raspberry pi.

  I’d use something like librespeed, works pretty well, I’ve used it both internally, as well as over the internet, does a pretty good job. Source: over 2 years ago

• "Are there any issues with the VPN right now?"....

  We've got an internal speedtest web page (Librespeed) for users to self-test their VPN performance, and lo and behold this user's latency and jitter are up and performance is down vs the previous week. Source: over 2 years ago

• "Are there any issues with the VPN right now?"....

  I also deployed a LibreSpeed server so they can test their internet speed/latency themselves. It shut down 90% of cases where people try to complain it's IT. Proof's right in your shitty internet. Source: over 2 years ago

• Left over money in budget want to purchase tools for networking department, suggestions?

  Also maybe throw a few dollars at hosting either in public cloud or in your own datacenter LibreSpeed (which is free OSS) so you can do speed / test validations to your own infrastructure (instead of speedtest.net) while out in the field? https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest.

• Lone admins, what happens when you can't resolve an issue?

  As for the VPN problem, it could be a number of things. I would spin up a speedtest app and have the user run some tests. I'd recommend https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest. I threw a server up in my Docker environment and it has been useful to provide evidence for bad connections with VPN. Source: almost 3 years ago
