Incredibly High Ping
I'm running a server that has a local velocity proxy, and runs thru TCP Shield for security.
I have it set so my servers have a network-compress-threshold of -1 (to disable it), and in my velocity config it is set to 9 (the highest level of compression) I found these settings to be the best for lowering ping, and CPU usage is of absolutely no concern (sub 1% always).
After that change the ping improved drastically. However me and other players ping is still always above 250ms. Are there anymore changes I should make? Is there anything specifically I should investigate?
Note: I use Spark to view these stats. ty!

If you compress every packet, or do too much compression, it will cause lag for peopple with slower computers
since it needs to get decompressed on their netty thread before it can be processed
is the server far away from you
no
within ~500km
250ms sus
can you ping the ip of the server in cmd/terminal
is it different from ingame ping
no, because tcp shield will block it
oh
tcpshield drops ping packets interesting
well you can still ping the source ip of the server itself, no?
something to note is that the ping is around 60 in the server selector
the ip thats not behind tcpshield
its a local server, so it says just 2ms
tf
2ms to 250ms?
yea its very strange
id bring up the issue with tcpshield
either their servers are too far
and the ping steadily increases over the course of about 4 minutes when I join the server, then it peaks at ~250
or they brokey something
what if you play on the server with the original ip
I will give that a try
cosmicguard does aswell
iirc
for their mc proxy?
iirc yes
idk about their proxy but
their normal prot
which berry uses
i can ping their ips just fine
peaks at 5ms
lmao
so its a tcpshield issue
contact their support
if they dont help u, try cosmicguard
they use host/full dedi protection iirc
i think i heard something about them blocking icmp, could be during attacks i might also just be misremembering
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
alright i'll be sure to do that, thank you for your help!
