I’m only getting an average of 9.21 Mbps from my Synology NAS to my remote Mac device. My NAS is connected to LAN with an internet speed of ±300Mbps. I don’t expect 300Mbps through Tailscale, but a 80-100Mbps would suffice.
- Both are on 1.44.0
- It’s a direct connection, no derp
- Average ping is 33ms
I’m clueless, anyone? Thanks
Do you get better speeds transferring over Tailscale when both machines are on the same LAN? I have no problems pushing 400mbit over Tailscale but it does use a ton of CPU so maybe the Synology CPU is the bottleneck if you have similar speeds after eliminating your internet connection.
This may be a silly question, unless is isn’t. Are you sure that your maximum upload speed is 300Mbps? Your maximum upload speed can be different to your maximum download speed. https://speedof.me can help you check.
If that’s not the answer, sorry for possibly being overly simple, but some people might not realise.
Have you tried using ZeroTier? I don‘t have much experience using Tailscale but have been using ZeroTier for two years now without any problems. Runs great on Synology
I have no experience with NAS but does it have an HDD? Maybe the read/write speed is the bottleneck. Again take this with a grain of salt since I do not have any experience with running a NAS.
HDD’s can actually go a lil beyond 1000Mbps so that’s not it :) And at home it does the job just fine
The tailscale guys are very responsive if you send them a question… It’s meant to be P2P but when it can’t i believe it uses some kind of relay proxy server so at a guess i’d say it’s that. Personally i run a subnet router on my LAN and not on individual devices… maybe you could try that instead?
I’ve been trying to set up a subnet router, but can’t seem to be able to get the hang of it. Are there any good tutorials, or tips you could give me? (Sorry to bug you)
