The 3 servers for Chicago, Illinois (US) seem to be pretty congested during peak times (Fang, Kruger & Sneden). There seems to be somewhere around 80-100 sessions on each of these servers most of the time, double that of almost every other 1gbit server according to the server status page https://airvpn.org/status/. During peak times these Chicago servers experience some heavy throttling. Right now (7/24/23 5:00PM) Sneden Chicago server is showing 1836 / 2000 Mbit/s and 83 sessions. Fang is showing 1810 / 2000 Mbit/s and 83 sessions, and Kruger is showing 1124 / 2000 Mbit/s with 85 sessions. In my test on a 500/500 connection I was only able to get 160 down/20 up during this period which is pretty abysmal. During non peak times I can usually get around 400-500 mbps up and down on these servers. I think these Chicago servers need atleast 1 or 2 more servers to help handle the load, or better yet an additional 10gbit server at this location would be ideal. Chicago is a vital server location in the US and an ideal location for people in the Midwest. Per City load balancing would be very beneficial here which AirVPN currently does not support. I made a separate post requesting that feature here: . Appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks!
