I noticed that whenever I perform a ping test from one of the public nodes, the pings are always like 30-50 ms higher than what my ping to the city the server is hosted in actually is. Is this normal? Do the Mudfish nodes typically have better latency than the public nodes?
Is this a mudfish node or something else from Mudfish? I have no idea which node you’re pointing. If possible, please show me the full output from ping commands… I’m curious how you tested.
I used mudfish and connected to the CENTURYLINK-LEGACY-QWEST-INET-125 public node (Full VPN) hosted in Seattle and recieved a ping of 71 ms to the Seattle CenturyLink server via Speedtest, but I get a ping of 60 ms to this same server W/O being connected to the VPN. I thought that this VPN is supposed to lower your ping to the nearest server to where you’re connecting to. (I’m in the Dallas, Texas area so my lowest possible ping to Seattle is 46 ms).
If I understand these screenshots, the first screenshot shows your public IP. However it seems 97.113.29.154 IP (found at the second scressnhot) isn’t a public IP of mudfish nodes.
So I guess that you’re using Full VPN nodes with the public nodes (these’re not maintained by Mudfish Networks). Am I correct?
Then for this question, I don’t have the answer because these public nodes are something found in the public internet. So it’s not one I can controll.
