Steps to Mitigate High Ping
Issue: Currently hosting a server for a bunch of friends which are mostly located somewhere in the USA or the West Coast, but there are a few people in the EU like Romania and they get absolutely shafted by bad ping even though we both have really great internet. We're talking like ping so high that it's 500+ and into the thousands sometimes, it really doesn't seem like it's from just distance either, and it's causing mobs to teleport a lot on their end in a server where everything is tweaked to be harder.
Any solution is appreciated, ip tunneling like hamatchi, plugins, tweaking network settings in OS, custom java flags, etc.

PluginsConfig```
Spawn: There is no spawn, you are likely to spawn somewhere within a 1000 block radius of spawn and/or someone else near spawn.
PVP: (All of the following is ONLY during PVP) Logging out will kill you, to leave combat you must wait 30 seconds without taking damage from a player (aka without being tagged). You cannot place lava or create nether portals, but you can still use portals. Using an elytra will retag you, totems do not work, and riptide is disabled. Potions of harming, weakness, poison, and slow falling are disabled. Items from your fallen foes will be impossible to pick up for 15 seconds after death.
Heads: Everything has a probability of dropping a head (plugin does not affect heads used in recipes) including humans, the following has a modifier on drop chances: "SHEARS: 2, GOLDEN_AXE: 2, NETHERITE_AXE: 1.6, DIAMOND_AXE: 1.5, IRON_AXE: 1.4, STONE_AXE: 1.3, WOODEN_AXE: 1.2, DIAMOND_SWORD: 1.2, IRON_SWORD: 1.1".
Enchants: For the time being the following enchants are limited to the max levels of: Protection 3, and Sharpness 4.
Spawn: You are likely to spawn in a 500 block radius from 0,0 and or 1000 block radius of 0,0 in the case of someone not being near you, it's likely to spawn you closer to players but not too close.
One Time Teleport: Using /ott (username) will request to teleport to another player you want to team up with one time, you will no longer have the ability to use the command at all, so choose wisely.
Voice Chat: Simple Voice Chat mod works with the server but is not required, if you do not like using mods we could integrate it into discord and it will auto move you to vc with whoever is within hearing range of you. Just a heads up, voice chat will activate skulk
sensors if you do not whisper!
Obfuscation: This just stops x-raying for ores, or other blocks I don't want you seeing.
G Sit: Allows you to sit on stairs, slabs, or carpets; do /sit, /crawl, /lay, /bellyflop, /spin, /emote.
Freedom Chat: You don't have to worry about chat reports / Microsoft account bans, they've been disabled completely.
Chest Shop: Allows for the creation of chest shops by players, please look at the link above for a how-to.
Brewery: Allows for the creation of barrels for brewing alcohol and getting very very drunk. Contains all the fun of alcohol and actual benefits, please look at the link above for a how-to. We can make custom brews.

Was originally gonna use a crap load of CivMC plugins with mariadb but those are broken on 1.20 because of Mojang code changes like material.color ):
orebfuscator isnt good
for people with not great internet
make the user run a winmtr to ur server
to get more info, if its a bad hop etc
Any idea on what I can use instead or if I can whitelist certain players on ore obfuscator?
Paper antixray engine Mode 1
I'll go look at the docs on their antixray engine but what is the perf impact
And the effectiveness?
it hides everything but stuff exposed to air
and has a lower perf impac
impact
and is better for people with not good internet
What are the other modes?
I'll push a config update via ssh asap tho
Also any other suggestions to improve latency?
Ie good configs for network adapter?
I’ve been using cfosspeed for years to cut ping to as low as possible. It could probably drop 10-20 Ms ping off. https://www.cfos.de/en/cfosspeed/cfosspeed.htm
However that’s marginal yes? It definitely sounds like you have a bad hop but west coast to east Europe? That’s far distance I would expect around 300-400 Ms ping to be optimal from those distances.
