Follow-up after RN (Racknerd) Chicago—personal-use proxy: tested

First of all, thanks to everyone for the help!!!

Conclusion:

Using the bbr + h2 protocol, speeds around 10 MB/s; strongly recommend trying the h2 protocol.

Below is a comparison chart of the h2 (Hysteria2) protocol and the VLESS Reality protocol (home broadband):

Here is my configuration sequence

  1. Dallas-based machine, using the site’s tutorial to configure bbr + VLESS Reality; actual results: home broadband around 3.5 MB/s, public mobile network around 0.5 MB/s
  2. Applied for a new IP; basically no difference
  3. Requested a region change, moved from Dallas to Chicago; they said latency would be lower, but in practice it’s actually laggy; public mobile network unavailable, around 0.8 MB/s; home broadband around 1.8 MB/s (not sure about the exact number; anyway it’s very laggy, basically unusable)
  4. Followed Friend A’s tutorial to configure VLESS+ARGO and VMess+ARGO respectively; VMess+ARGO home broadband is 1.2 MB/s; VLESS+ARGO finally reached 8 MB/s; this speed is usable but not very stable, fluctuating between 5 MB/s and 12 MB/s

  5. Friend B recommends using the h2 protocol; at this point it’s quite stable; home broadband is basically around 10 MB/s, though not perfectly stable, but its range is between 8 MB/s and 15 MB/s.

  • Hysteria2 (Aggressive bandwidth hogging):
  • Pros:
    它是专门为高丢包、高延迟网络设计的。如果你的宽带在晚高峰丢包严重，Hysteria2 可以强行填满带宽，速度往往能达到 VLESS 的数倍。
  • Cons:
    它的 UDP 特性在某些对 UDP 限制严格的地区（QoS）可能会被限速，甚至导致端口瞬间被封。
  • VLESS + Reality (Stable and Smooth):
  • Pros: 基于 TCP，连接非常稳定。在正常网络环境下，它的延迟更低，且由于不需要像 Hysteria2 那样反复发包，它的服务器 CPU 消耗也相对更低。
  • Cons: 一旦网络环境极差（丢包率 > 10%），TCP 的重传机制会让你感到明显的卡顿。

Hysteria2因为“流量特征过于显眼”而被针对，甚至可能导致整个 IP 段对 UDP 进行限制。

That was really informative.

Check out my new post and switch to a preferred domain name for faster speeds—the default domain name assigned by the script may have latency in this region.

How do I change the preferred domain name?
