HTTPS | Caddy | Only 5mbps for remote connections? - Comply7199 - 2025-05-02

I have just migrated from Plex and I'm having some problems with the bandwidth of Remote Connections. 

My WAN connection is 1 Gbps up/down. 
Jellyfin is running on Windows Server 2019. 

I'm running SQM Cake QoS on my router and the up/down speeds max out at 830 Mbps with zero jitter.

I followed this guide to get HTTPS working:

Contents of my Caddyfile: 

randomstring.duckdns.org {
    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8096
}

Contents of my powershell script: 

.\caddy reverse-proxy --from randomstring.duckdns.org --to 127.0.0.1:8096


HTTPS is working and I can access my library remotely using the Android app.

If I use my desktop PC to connect via HTTPS, and attempt to download a file, I only get 5 Mbps bandwidth. 

When I use the same PC to connect via the local IP address I get 850 Mbps.

I presume that 'Caddy' is limiting my bandwidth in some way. Is the traffic being routed through a 3rd party / proxy server? 

If so, is there a way to avoid this / increase the bandwidth? 

Thanks,

I've resolved the problem after finding this post:

Do you mind sharing what exactly solved it? I don't have any bitrate limits set in Jellyfin's remote streaming settings yet I get abysmal streaming and downloading speeds over HTTPS. This somehow doesn't happen when I directly access the port using Tailscale, and even over Tailscale serve. I am using the Caddy Tailscale plugin which creates an isolated node because it enables me to share services to other users outside my tailnet; I don't know if that's the issue. I can't port forward due to the network being on CG-NAT.
