ANSWERED Regular handshake timeouts

[GeneralGas99 0]

Could someone explain to me the possible reasons why this would be happening? I get timeouts quite regularly, especially when trying to download things at high speeds such as highly seeded torrents or games from steam. I have a 1GB/s connection

Hello!

Different reasons come to mind (MITM packet injection, very noisy line, MTU related problem, bugs in the system or router stack when UDP traffic flow is high). Please:

1. set WireGuard interface MTU to 1280 bytes in Eddie's "Preferences" > "WireGuard" window;
2. if you connect via WiFi try to get a stronger signal and verify whether it's necessary to change channel;
3. if you connect via Ethernet, test a replacement cable;
4. make sure that your router firmware and your network interface driver are both up to date.

Kind regards
