My droplet to my pc ping is same as my pc to my dropley = 80ms see link below for traceroutes. first one is my pc to my droplet second is my pc to speedtest image
Sorry but I have to ask the obvious, the speedtest node is in Frankfurt, is your node also in frankfurt?
Also, keep in mind that speedtest nodes are going to be mega-optimized for ping, traceroute, bandwidth, and latency. So they’ll likely be sitting on the edge of the network not behind X routers, and Y distribution switches along the route. That’s because the speedtest results from these nodes are going to make or break a potential customer.
Another possible factor is the firewall layering. Are you using DO’s firewall as well as your node’s firewall? Iptables rule processing will likely add to latency.
Yes my node is in Frankfurt. I have firewall but no any difference on or off - same pings happen Also i have a same VM on google cloud (Frankfurt). when i try to ping, i get same ping as (speedtest-fra1.digitalocean.com) = 59ms so from my pc to google Frankfurt VM ping = 59ms from my pc to speedtest-fra1.digitalocean.com = 59ms from my pc to my Frankfurt Droplet = 80ms
I dont get the point what behind on this results
