I just got set up and going with pptpd. I can browse, kinda. I cannot get any speed test to work except google's when connected to the VPN which reports 4Mb/s down and 4.72Mb/s up. The upload seems about right for my connection but. Speed Test for DigitalOcean Run speed tests for all DigitalOcean datacenters faster than ever.

Cd mv test/file1. This may seem unintuitive at first, but the mv command is also used to rename files and directories. In essence, moving and renaming are both just adjusting the location and name for an existing item. Fusion 360 to sketchup. So to rename the test directory to testing, we could type: mv test testing.

All grades are based on tests run by VpsBenchmarks on each VPS plan. There are 5 types of tests: web, sysbench, endurance, remote timings and network transfers. Each grade is the combination of one or more test metrics.
A grade is calculated in each on of 5 categories: web, cpu, disk, network and stability. Each category grade is made of one or more metrics chosen in relevant test types.
Given a metric for a plan and a test, the grade for that metric is determined relative to the same metric from all other plans. A plan with a metric in the top 18% of all plans will get an A, a plan with a metric in the bottom 18% will get an F. Relevant single metric grades are then weighted and combined to give a category grade.
Under the hood, a grade is a decimal number between 0.0 and 6.0.
The overall score is the average of the grades in all categories brought into the [0 - 100] range.
Note: The VPS plan price is not a factor in calculating the grades. More expensive plans with higher specs are likely to get higher grades than cheaper ones. This can be changed in the Screener by turning on the 'price weighted' switch.
- Web Performance
- The Web Performance grade is made of the Web test average response time, 99th percentile response time and the maximum rate of requests without error.
- Raw CPU Power
- The Raw CPU Capacity grade is made of the Sysbench CPU test number of operations per second and of the Endurance test number of iterations per hour metric.
- Performance Stability
- The Performance Stability grade is made of the Web test average response time standard deviation, the difference between the 99th percentile and average response times and the Endurance test number of iterations per hour standard deviation.
- Disk IO Performance
- The Disk IO Performance grade is made of the Sysbench test sequential disk write speed and random read/write speed.
- Network Performance
- The Network Performance grade is made of large file network upload and download transfer speeds.
Price Weighted Grades
The Screener and other pages offer the option to display 'price weighted' grades. With this option turned on, a low price plan that has the same performance as a high price plan will be shown with higher grades.
The price weighted view tries to answer the following questions:
- What plans have the best value?
- How much performance do I get for every dollar I spend?
For low price plans, the grade 'bonus' is proportional to the difference between its $30 and monthly price. The function used to calculate the bonus is designed to have a small impact on very low grades and maximum impact on medium to high grades.
Similarly, grades for high price plans are displayed lower when this option is turned on: the higher above $30 the monthly price is, the stronger the hit on the grades. In this case, the function is designed to have a small impact on excellent grades and maximum impact on medium to low grades.
Performance Grades
To summarize the performance of each VPS plan, we generated grades based on the various tests that were run: web, sysbench, endurance and remote timing tests. Each grade focuses on one aspect of the VPS speed or stability (cpu, disk IO, network IO..) and is made of one or more metrics measured during the tests.
Grades are evenly distributed between A and F. A is best, F is worst.

Web Response Times
We ran a database intensive web application at various levels of load on cloud servers from DigitalOcean and Hostinger. This is the average response time measured locally on the VPS for each plan we tested.
Local Response Time per Plan

Network Transfers
We have performed large file transfers from the DigitalOcean and Hostinger VPS and we measured the speed of downloads and uploads.
The transfers involve multiple files, 10 threads and last for at least 10 seconds at maximum speed. The transfers are repeated 3 times from different servers and only the fastest transfer is reported here.
Download Speed per Plan
Higher is better
Sustained CPU Endurance Tests
We pushed the CPU of those VPS plans hard for 24 hours straight.
This test shows how fast the VPS can go for long periods of time, how stable the performance is and it also gives clues on how overallocated the VPSs may be.
