So did you apply both of that, and what was the effect?

What are the other point that you test against, is it another VPS (better if
you could try with that), or your home connection?

It could be your home provider has different speed limits (shaping) in place
for UDP. Should be possible to test this with:

  iperf3 -s                        # on VPS

  iperf3 -u -b 500M -c <VPS IP> -R # on the other side

And then see how many "Lost/Total Datagrams" (xx %) you get. A high percentage
would indicate that the actual top speed for UDP is less than 500Mbit by this
value.
