I tried the Sydney hosted test file first and in chrome, it said the speeds I was getting was 1.2 MB/s to 1.3 MB/s consistently, I usually don't get above 1 MB/s downloading off a local server from Steam. When I tried other location test files, the speeds were less than 1 MB/s.

1. Use UDP
2. Turn compression back on
3. If you care about security, turn encryption back on. It doesn't have that much overhead, really.
4. Set your tunnel MTU to 8192 (add "tun-mtu 8192" to your client config)
5. Add the following 2 lines to your client config file:
fragment 0 mssfix 0
6. Run speedtest-cli on your droplet to see what speeds you get there.
7. Try your speed test again.
