Plex and Emby Streams and Downloads are Throttled #1867

Describe the Bug

I am currently having the same issue for both plex and emby on the most recent version of all programs in the software stack.

I am currently experiencing bandwidth issues with both plex and emby(only two programs that I utilize Pangolin for).
Any attempts to stream anything at speeds higher than 50kb results in constant buffering. As a method of troubleshooting I attempted to download the raw videos from both plex and emby, and still am capped at the same slow speed.

Pangolin stack is currently running on a Racknerd VPS with 1 CPU Core and 2GB RAM. I have done extensive troubleshooting with their tech support, and even had my VPS moved to a different location as a possible measure, but to no avail. I have also confirmed that the DNS records are all correct, and that my host machine is working properly. I have also tried reinstalling the Pangolin stack as a final resort, but that didn't work as well. It appears to be getting software throttled at some point in the tunneling process. Logging has also been disabled in the Pangolin setting menu to see if that helps, but to no avail.

Environment

  • OS Type & Version: Debian 12
  • Pangolin Version: 1.12.2
  • Gerbil Version: 1.2.2
  • Traefik Version: 3.5
  • Newt Version: 1.60

To Reproduce

Trying to stream or download any media whether it be video or audio via plex and emby.

Expected Behavior

In the past I was able to stream 4k videos via the Pangolin stack without an issue.
