I had a VPS with racknerd for a year. I just used it as a wireguard endpoint to exit in the US. I had no complaints but I also didn’t use it very often.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I’d look for a different provider if you’re looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.

Lookup “lowendbox” if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.

Is your test TCP or UDP? My guess is that’s TCP traffic.

Your VPS provider can rate limit as specific as a single UDP port. Try a different WG UDP port or wrap your WG traffic in TCP with other software and try again.

You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Here’s my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.

Is saving the game from an early leak worth getting rid of physical games? I hope not.

I might be unique in this but I’ll never “buy” a digital game. They’re impossible to resell and I can’t lend it to friends or my kids, they’d need my account or console. Plus I’ll have the physical game forever, digital games are only good as long as the servers are up.

I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this, so if companies stop offering physical games then I’m not going to buy them. (I’ll just pirate). I’ve preordered Zelda from GameStop. I support the content I want more of, like Zelda games, and I’ll continue to buy each one. If I don’t, then they might not make more.

My WG traffic looked like a DOS attack to OVH and I got blackholed for 5min, then 15, then 30.

My guess is your provider is rate limiting your UDP traffic.

While I agree, where should it stop?

Just by getting into new cars you agree to their TOS. Buying a new phone, using internet services/websites, etc. You almost can’t breath without agreeing to one TOS or another. We need this shit to stop and local laws are the only way I see out of it.
