If you use a VPN, wouldn't it suffice to just make your VPN connection use BBR? Ditto if you use an https proxy of some kind.

- jofla_net 2y agoI would guess that that would be beneficial, but again only if youre using a TCP vpn, which is suboptimal for other reasons. I think it was called meltdown. If that is all you have access to though, im sure it would help.
- Hikikomori 2y agoProxy yes, vpn no. Tcp over tcp vpn is bad, no tcp vpn would make no difference to no vpn.
- Alex-Programs 2y agohttps://github.com/apernet/hysteria https://github.com/apernet/hysteria has the option to use https://github.com/apernet/tcp-brutal https://github.com/apernet/tcp-brutal, a deliberately unfair/selfish congestion control algorithm. It's designed to mitigate certain methods of blocking-via-throttling. I looked into it for a report I wrote a while back, and I was surprised to find that nobody has made something purpose-built for greedy TCP congestion handling in order to improve performance at the expense of others. If there is such a thing, I couldn't find it. Perhaps I'm a little too cynical in my expectations! Maybe TCP-over-TCP is so bad that it's not worth it?
