Long story short, I’m trying to host a minecraft server, however when connecting through the playit proxy the ping averages around 150 ping. This is quite a lot since I am in the same country that the proxy is using. How do I fix this?
There is too many variables to know what is causing the high ping.
What’s your Down/Upload speed. Is your router outdated? I know weird questions. However I notice people don’t see their hardware is the issue. Your router is handling all the traffic in your network. If you are trying to host 5+ people that are outside your network can get bottleneck by the cpu process and memory in your router.
Also your own computer could have a bad problem? You didn’t really give your specs on your setup.
You’ll have to slowly diagnose the issues I would start with hosting the server locally first.
1.Connect to the server via through the ipv4 of the server. Are you getting high ping then? If so could be the server is not adequate or maybe your own pc.
2. If not the former then you need to connect to your router ip and see what the memory/cpu is and see how much load it has when having players on the server.
3. Oh don’t forget to see if you have the Down/Upload speed. Check your speed at https://www.speedtest.net/ If you have less than or equal 50 download speed you don’t have enough to host 10 players. If it was just your server on that network by itself then yes. However if you have other traffic on it I assume then it won’t work well.
4. If it’s not the former 3. Then I have no clue. The playit.gg servers could be too far away from it to use them with lower latency.
Sorry for the delay in response, been busy.
Download/upload is 300gb both ways
I am using fiber optic
I am using the router/modem provided by my ISP
Im not hosting 5+ people during testing, its just me in my own home doing the tests
I’ve connected to the server in 3 ways
- using local ip address, this ends up with me getting 1-3ms on average
- connected using public ip address which ends up being 40ms on average
- connected using the playit tunnel and its 80-100ms on average, which is wild since i am literally in the next room
I’ve swapped the data center location to every offering in the U.S and the lowest i get is florida with about 80ms
