Suspect the cause of that is something else.

Yep, can’t sleep tonight, think I’ve figured out the cause of the problem! Not sure why it was working before, maybe I had manually modified the offending value on the interface on my unraid server.
My unraid server has a 10G fibre connection, I have a 10G switch as the backbone of my network, when I was playing with getting the connection to max out iperf3 across my LAN I set the MTU to 9000, but never set it back to a sane value.
It seems this was the culprit, creating lots of fragmentation of packets when the WAN became involved, especially with the GRE encapsulation. I’d noticed that unless I carefully selected a Speedtest.net server I got results much lower than I expected, I have changed the MTU on the unraid server down to a better value (although not yet optimum) and I was able to stream from a web browser on my phone without buffering. Running a Speedtest on a VM on unraid now showed decent results on a random server as well.
Need to do a little more testing, by pretty sure I’ve discovered my issue.
Thanks for your responses again.
