Has anyone setup WireGuard in an LXC Container? I have it fully setup and working using the "ubuntu-20.04-standard_20.04-1_amd64.tar.gz" template. The speed is not meeting my expectations bandwidth wise. I have sequential 2.5Gbps fiber however currently Proxmox is on a 1Gbps LAN port for now. I'm using my mobile phone as a test case here and over 5G.

What I speed test over USB type C tethering to my desktop.

I wanted to test another internet source so I remoted into my brothers house and setup the Windows Desktop WireGuard client.

Looks to be the same bandwidth cap using both internet sources.

I have a few questions, would WireGuard perform better running in a full VM vs an LXC Container. Is there any Proxmox settings or features that can improve network performance? Where else might I need to troubleshoot this performance issue? From what I've seen WireGuard is supposed to be capable of much faster performance.

For reference my full ISP speed my proxmox box is behind.
