#Uploading on Immich very slow when connecting through public ip address

I am talking about upload speeds as in backing up and uploading through web interface etc…
Even downloads are slow
It's hard to say why without knowing how you're accessing immich through your public IP address.
Do you have a self-signed cert? Reverse proxy? Did you just forward port 2283?
yeah all i did was port forward
That is an extremely insecure and dangerous thing to do. Passwords you type in are transmitted in clear text through the internet, allowing attackers to steal your username and password, then log in and access all your data on Immich.
Immich is also not audited for security and you cannot expect that someone with your login credentials cannot execute arbitrary code in your server.
I would suggest removing the port forward immediately. I would also consider the password you used to be potentially compromised, so if you've re-used it anywhere change it out of an abundance of caution.
A secure way of accessing your server would be through Wireguard.

Thanks for this info
Is there a guide for how to use wireguard for Immich application
Just wrote one 🙂
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/5350
It's not merged yet, but here is a great guide on wireguard setup in general: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/wireguard/overview/
There isn't much to do specifically for immich.
