[Exit node] GreenCloud Hong Kong 2222 DC1, xTom upstream, detailed test

For GreenCloud’s 12th anniversary sale, I bought the less popular HK DC1 to see how it performs. Upstream is xTom, so in a roundabout way this is also experiencing Hong Kong single-line GSL from the well-known provider

1. Configuration

Test address | Probe

For the 2222 promo plan, if you pay for three years you can open a ticket to double RAM + traffic or disk + traffic. I have already doubled RAM + traffic. Orders over USD 25 can also enter a lottery once; with luck you may even win a free year of 2222 or 6666

Note: no refund policy; long-term CPU usage must not exceed 30%. Read the ToS carefully

7. Summary

The port is fairly large, and streaming unlock is currently decent. It is more suitable as an exit node/international transit node, or for deploying lightweight/personal projects. If your goal is simply an exit node and you already have other Hong Kong VPSes, there is no need to buy this one

8. About The Tests

All machines used in this article (including all machines participating in iPerf3 tests) were purchased at my own expense; TCP tuning was limited to enabling BBR+FQ, with all other parameters left at defaults; results may be time-sensitive
