Hi guys! Just...that. My parents live in Europe, while my servers are at my home in Asia. Europe home has fiber at about 200Mbps symmetric, and Asia home has 1Gbps symmetric. But due to distance, it's hard to get them to reach very fast speeds at all, being capped at about 1MB/s when transferring files or watching Jellyfin. Is there any way to do some sort of static faster routing for the specific home IPs?

Thanks, that's insightful. Since the routers are a bit oldish, I can't get them to wireguard each other. I can individually create connections for the specific servers that will connect through, I reckon that might work. At this point I was using dynamic domains to connect from one point to another (specially for the Jellyfin part), but VPN might get better performance. I'll give it a shot...thanks!

Since the routers are a bit oldish….

If they’re no longer getting software updates, it’s time to replace them before they’re weaponized for the next botnet.
