Finding reliable connection in remote hubs

Working as a remote systems developer means high-speed internet is not negotiable; it is a critical utility. In beach towns across Southeast Asia, connection stability can vary drastically between co-workings and local cafes. I have started cataloging packet loss and jitter metrics over open VPN protocols to map the best remote workspaces. Here are my baseline findings.

tbh public cafe wifi is a nightmare for packet loss and security smh. i always tunnel everything through wireguard on a custom vps to bypass local throttling. definitely post the raw numbers once you finish the benchmarks, super curious about the jitter differences.

Totalmente de acuerdo. La seguridad en redes públicas es crítica, especialmente al manejar datos de proyectos. Yo también utilizo túneles dedicados, aunque para videoconferencias la latencia a veces se vuelve un problema si el servidor de la VPN está muy lejos.
