I don’t see that on my end. If I leave the nodes raw (ie on the internet line I have them on), I’m nowhere near at saturating my connection. If I route them through an EU-central-datacenter, I instantly saturate it and keep it saturated.

That, to me means that nodes closer to the satellite are selected more often. There is no logical scenario in my head that matches the traffic pattern. I can’t saturate my link, but routing half-way across the globe (+added vpn overhead) gets it saturated?
