Re: [Iperf-users] Public iperf 2 servers?

[Jeffrey L. <je...@ca...>]

Why would you want to to use a public iperf server somewhere on the
internet?  doesn't seem like a useful test given all the potential
fail points along the way... just curious.

In the past, I have done this, actually, by spinning up an instance in
AWS or Digital Ocean and running iperf on a public IP there and then
pointing my local client at that address.  It does seem to work, and
adds the benefit you seek of guaranteeing a specific version of iperf
on the server end since you're installing it yourself.

HTH,

Jeff
