- Expose localhost's port 4001 to public internet using ngrok:
ngrok tcp 4001. Tip: Use -region= flag for lower latency. - Note the hostname and port returned by ngrok in the form:
tcp://hostname:port -> localhost:4001 - Open the ipfs config json file
~/.ipfs/config - Edit as follows: Addresses.Announce=["/dns4/put-the-hostname-here/tcp/put-the-port-here"]
- Save the config file
ipfs daemon

@avatar-lavventura I meant that I suppose the slow speed is not due to ipfs per se. Because I and some of my colleagues who used ipfs didnt experience very slow speeds once the peers were swarm connected.
