Bypassing Throttling in Lebanon

WhatUsername961

I finally managed to bypass ISP throttling in Lebanon to reach the max speeds of your internet plan. After many and many test, my data showed that Cloudflare's CDN is unthrottled in Lebanon. All you need is any VPS (outside of Lebanon), a domain and a Cloudflare account. Proxy your domain behind Cloudflare and add the origin server to be your VPS. Setup NGINX as a reverse proxy and v2ray server on your VPS. Install V2ray client on your client and all of your traffic will pass through Cloudflare's CDN network UNTHROTTLED 24/7. This is a general tutorial. If you need a specific tutorial on how to set everything up, hit me up. I already set my network like this and throttling has disappeared and now getting the speeds that I SHOULD'VE gotten in the first place.

Hi WhatUsername961, welcome to LebGeeks and thanks for sharing!

Have you also tested Cloudflare's Warp+ service? It's basically a WireGuard tunnel to whatever Cloudflare data center is closest to you. If that works, you would not have to maintain a VPS.

I tried it and it is throttled. The IP ranges of Cloudflare Warp+ are throttled by all ISPs in Lebanon but Cloudflare's CDN ips aren't.

Interesting. Thanks for reporting back! The cool thing is that Cloudflare actually peers with other ISPs at the Beirut IX, so they have a local presence: https://blog.cloudflare.com/marhaba-beirut-cloudflares-121st-location

Although its peers, its non-CDN ips are throttled heavily by all Lebanese ISPs. You can try downloading a test file from a server that is behind a Cloudflare CDN and do a speedtest while on Cloudflare Warp+ and the speed difference is insane! Cloudflare's global cdn is unthrottled so i use that to my advantage to bypass any ISP throttling/monitoring by encapsulating and proxying all of my traffic through an ssl/tls tunnel through Cloudflare's CDN to my origin server. Pretty awesome and the best thing is; it works in Lebanon. 24/7 high speed uninterrupted, unthrottled and secure internet all the time.
