Vpn throttling

[Anths79]

Hey guys I have an account with a vpn provider and on my 160mb line I never get above 20mb. I have tried at another house with different internet provider and it is fine there. I have checked firewall settings on router and enabled pptp etc.

Is virgin throttling vpn?

Yes, AirVPN is easiest to use and works But I went another route again after trying numerous VPN's .. Basically, I'm on NordVPN and I didn't use The APP I just downloaded UDP/TCP config file and Used this and I get 39-41MiB Full speed on torrents Using OpenVPN <<<. https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Proxy/1049258992/Proxy-setup-on-Deluge.htm

Chances are high that your VPN is throttling bandwidth. Think about it if they would provide you 160mb and then 10 more users come up with 200MB then how can they manage?

I am using my Work VPN, and ist working fine, no throttling at all.

The OpenVPN protocol is known to be the strongest in encryption but slower in speeds where as the L2TP protocol is faster but less secure compared to openvpn. PPTP is the least Secure but all in all the fastest. Then it’s a case of trying out all location servers to find the best one.

I’m  currently using  expressvpn can I get around 200Mb using openvpn east London but 300 using l2tp east London on a 350Mb Virgin speed.

Hi

You mean 20 mb down on Torrenting?

I get about 30 on a 500mb line using IP vanish
