Based on post-post performance, it was definitely tied to the large number of small files, which really blows my mind but then again, my skillset is not in that area. I noticed the same slow behavior on the macs upon syncing (for what it’s worth, it’s the Joplin sync, which can easily contain a ton of little resource files for each note and changing the structure in syncthing is not a matter of renaming the folders, but a complete refresh).
As soon as it was back to large files, flies like the dickens. No global, no relay, no nat, not even local announce… the hard coded IPs work well.
No need for firewall on my end as everything is local. I do want to get into external access, but lots of work to be done before that will get to the top of my to do list.
So let’s talk about your firewall/NAT/port forwarding issue. Not my wheelhouse but I’ve fudged my way through it enough times that I can probably help.
- What is your router?
- Does your router have UPnP and if so, have you enabled it? I personally think it’s a security risk, but it’s a great way to get the settings set properly and once it’s working, you can copy them, shut UPnP off, then enter them in manually.
- What kind of behavior are you seeing?
- Any other info you have that think could be helpful to cut down on the back and forths.
Cheers.
