Do guides on optimizing network/connection exist?

my server is located on Australia, which means terrible ping (300ms on fiber) I'm looking for resources or guides on that topic

why would you host it on australia if you are 300ms away from australia

because I can't pay for a hosting service, instead a friend gave me access to a small mac to host the server, it wasn't my choice

Theres like 0 way you chose the worst possible setup for latency

not sure if it matters tho it loads decently fast for 40 plugins and like 6 worlds I didn't had an option?

Residentially hosted, Remote bad networking region, etc

I get it but there is like no way to reduce your latency specially if you have no money

the only way would be setting up an anycasted proxy on top

or free hosts like shiternos

Would likely give you a better experience is this for a public server or for friends?

public intended 💀 (mostly friends) I mean, 300ms is not that bad but I do wish to get a lower ping

in my experience, better than free hosts + I get to control everything

300ms is definelty not better then free hosts 300ms on a self hosted residentially connected APAC server arm desktop*

it's not for fast paced games more like a chill slow survival

300ms is still not enough for that

! Sullens :3OP•6d ago
as I said, is not that bad but I wish to reduce it as much as possible
Upioti
Upioti•6d ago
u cant get money or self host it urself

! Sullens :3OP•6d ago
I tried survival and it's not that bad if I had a spare machine or a job (in my country getting a job as a 17yo is borderline impossible) but I have really limited options

u can do it on your own machine

I could but that means no more PC for me
