I understand the fact about an dedicated server and the fact that not ervery speedtest is the same. But there is another angle. I have installed FreeBSD with the same specs and also a PF enabled and in testing its is much better. I have also a VPS in a DC normal the speeds is average 48 and with OpenBSD it is average 17. So is there a good explanation for this?
