Gluetun + qbittorrent trough airvpn speeds

[adr1x 0]

Helllo everyone,

I run a NAS Qnap TS-464-8g.
I mainly use it for torrenting and media server.
Currently it runs docker image that containes qbittorrent + gluetun with airvpn configuration.

It works fine and connected easily, however, I see slow speeds. Since I tried another vpn , the speeds are way better.
I chose closes servers to me, which are Latvia and Estonia (EDIT5: No longer using these servers, jumped on 20gbit bandwagon).
Could someone tell me if avg speeds of 2mb/s is what expected with airvpn? I seed quite a lot of torrents, about 30active all the time, and speeds should be way higher since i've seen greated with different provider. Thanks.

EDIT: I've added - WIREGUARD_MTU=1280 after I created the thread. with no impact to speeds. still avg 2mb/s upload.
EDIT2: While docker exec'd into gluetun container, and running flat downloadi get 300-350 (40mb/s) mbps speeds
EDIT3: I've noticed that just after starting the container with qbit+gluetun+airvpn(wireguard) i see my torrents uploading at 10mb/s, which would indicate the speeds can be higher, but after a minute, the speed drops to 2mb/s
EDIT4: What boosted speed for me was during config generation selecting MTU in airvpn and making sure the same MTU is set on Gluetun (hence WIREGUARD_MTU=1280). Still far from shown in speedtests.
EDIT6: Tried all 20gbit servers in Europe. UK,DE,NL,CH,RO,SE - can't push over 10mb/s and it is no longer avg at 10mb/s. it is more like avg is 5mb/s.

It has been a while and I am back to report my finds.
I managed to boost my upload speed a bit, now I commonly get avg of 10mb/s upload.
I am not sure if it is intended cap cause I cannot push trough over that. Very rarely it jumps above 15mb/s. But usually hangs about 6-7 mb/s (pun not intended).

What worked for me was during config generation selecting MTU in airvpn and making sure the same MTU is set on Gluetun (hence WIREGUARD_MTU=1280)

But I am still bit unsatisfied  with the upload speeds. I use not that crowded 20gbit servers, and I am pretty sure there is room for extra speed cause I am nowhere near to my line speed.

BUMP I guess, maybe someone has more ideas?
