Antares is terribly jittery

[Fearn 0]

Here is an example ping to google (or any other site) with Antares (SG).

This is not from my side. I have tried various ISP and location but Antares always has these ridiculous request time outs every few seconds. It's been like this since... forever (a year? since I first registered that is), actually, although I only get to post this now. This is not the case with any other server I select, including Hadar / Cebalrai (HK).

 

Antares has the lowest latency I can obtain, and is required in some things I do which Hadar can't replace, but it's unbelievably frustrating to have to deal with these time outs.

I doubt there is any solution though, I just feel like I need to inform AirVPN about this.

Hello,

 

from inside Antares there are no packet loss to Google, so the problem is somewhere between Antares and your ISP(s). Compare also with the Ping Matrix and Antares history:

 

https://airvpn.org/pingmatrix

 

https://airvpn.org/servers/Antares

 

which show sporadic and minimal packet loss in Antares. Totally irrelevant.

 

Kind regards

I see. I have tried over 5 ISP all with same result. Then I will assume this is indeed not possible to solve.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

as you can see it does not look like it's on Antares.Maybe traceroute from those five ISPs could provide some hint but again we could do nothing, Antares and datacenter look perfect from all the major transit providers we use in 17 countries.

 

Kind regards

I am sure Antares is fine. However there's probably a bad server that all my 5+ ISP route to before reaching Antares, which is most likely the problem. However at this point I might as well say there is no way to fix it, but thanks anyway!

I'm having problem with Antares for about a day. And few minutes ago I totally lost VPN connection.

Below is the log:

The total loss of connection could have been this:  https://airvpn.org/topic/16738-immediate-emergency-maintenance-on-all-servers/

 

Can't explain the other stuff
