  • I am a Unix person I just get it from my distro:s package repository. I don’t know if that URL is the correct address.

    The steps are (simplified):

    1. Get a server on your home IP (your seedbox will do) and a computer on the outside (you may prefer try a VPN) to stress test your connection.
    2. Open a port to the machine at your house. Run iperf3 server on that port on that machine.
    3. Connect to that machine from the one outside your home via a command which runs a speed test.
    4. See results.

    This specifically speedtests incoming connections to your IP address. Regular speedtests like fast.com, etc. Test outgoing. With the way TCP/IP works, your ISP can easily differentiate the two.
