Results returning only local speeds?

[droidus]

I ran my self-hosted instance and it seems to be reporting 1 GB down and 570mbps up. I know my speeds are only 300/300mbps. I believe it is just measuring my local speeds. I added ?Host= to point to the openspeedtest.com IP, and I get the same results. What do I need to do to measure actual Internet speeds?

If you need to run an internet speed test use Openspeedtest home Page.
If you host your own server in the cloud with right Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) permission, you can pass it using "Host" keyword. Soon i am planning to provide a list of publically available servers, i think people can use it like the way you mentioned in the near future.

@openspeedtest Did you get the list of publicly available servers? I am running Openspeedtest on localhost since want to make some modifications but when I try different servers I get the following error:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://openspeedtest.com/upload?n=0.040863307044817665' from origin 'http://localhost' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

What servers should I be using?
