Noob advice regarding accessing outside my wifi (feddit.it)

Hi everyone, this community is helping me a lot in starting my journey into the self-hosting world. I'm currently just experimenting using my main pc as server, but I'm planning getting an old minipc and let it running 24h.

I wanted to give acces to my hosted service from outside my wifi and since I noticed my Frirzbox router support natively Wireguard VPN i just gave it a try. It was super easy and worked flawlessly, I was able to access to my jellyfin library from 4g and other WiFi. BUT I noticed a big loss in connection speed while using my VPN (e.g. from mb/s 400 to 200 or even worse) and I'm not sure it's a good Idea to have all my devices constantly under this kind of loss forever.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you suggest other routes in order to expose my services to outside? Thank you, and sorry if it's a noob question.

Eh, I experienced this.

What's your upload speed, becuase this will be your max download speed as your sending data out of your network!

Try for an ISP with symmetric up/download, or just one that's better.

You can test this with a vps with a higher upload than your current ISP, destroy it when your done. (Jupiter Broadcasting and Tux Digital podcasts have a good deal on linode atm)

I'm from Italy so my ISP choice is actually really limited, but I'm gonna look into this
