Fix Linux Server Packet Loss

Job ID: 40360732

Budget: €12 – €18 EUR

I’m facing persistent outbound packet loss on my Linux server. The problem appeared a few days ago, right after I upgraded my hosting plan, and it has started to affect production-level traffic. Latency is acceptable and inbound packets arrive cleanly; only the outbound stream is dropping frames.

I need someone who can jump in immediately, trace the root cause, and apply a permanent fix. Typical tools for the job might include tcpdump, traceroute, iptables, nftables, netstat, or any monitoring utilities you prefer—as long as the solution is clearly explained and reproducible.

Acceptance criteria:
• Outbound traffic shows 0 % (or normal-range) packet loss under load tests.
• A short summary of what was wrong and the exact commands or configuration changes you applied.
• Any recommendations that prevent the issue from re-occurring after future kernel or plan upgrades.

I will give you full SSH access as soon as we agree on a start time, and I’m ready to test fixes with you in real-time so we can close this out quickly.
