Well, I'm not sure about PPTP but with OpenVPN you can either choose to route all traffic through the VPN or not. If all traffic is routed through VPN then connection would be slow because traffic like http will also be encrypted.

whaaa... torrent speed increasing... 30~45KB/s at 3:00am now on 512K line.

What area? I live near sing kwong and speeds are terrible.

when the speed will be ok?

a good question...the answer: we all don't know. maybe yes maybe no. this damn tmN*t throttling our p2p causing so much trouble. BTW my D/L is running at more stable rate this passed 3 day. it is good but cannot be happy so early as we all know tmn*t do this to cover the smelly a**

Today, i tested OpenVPN from office.

Download with OpenVPN 37-45 KBps
Download without OpenVPN 42-48 KBps

Not bad at all.

that's pretty good actually.. my line is really bad since sat till now.. i can't get pass 5kb/s without local peers..

Err what's the difference? Looks like download without OpenVPN can achieve a bit better speed. BTW what's the difference between OpenVPN and other paid VPN services?

http://openvpn.net. It's right on the main page.
The test above is peformed on http hosted with streamyx line. Not on torrent network.
Look at previous page, you'll know what i've been doing and trying to achieve.

Duh, so hard to gather ppl who is willing to shell out a bit for better streamyx connection.

virtual, ugpm!

i think it's not a bad idea trying to gather some pple who wouldnt mind paying for premium speeds. you can count me in.. and keep me updated!

for now i'm still trying to get by with relakks. *trying*... ugh...

PM replied.

As nobody is interested to shell out usd10 / month, may be we can gather more people. Let's say 30 people than the cost can be brought down to 200/25 = usd7.

Come to think of it, i actually haven't counted the price for setup fee.
To waive the setup fee, i have to subscribe for 1 year straight away. Sigh.

Wait till after new year and see if they lift the throttle after the increase of the international link capacity.

i've got stable bt speeds on 512 package only after midnite. after 9.00am, then it slow.

Nowadays port forward method still work?

Kinda little bit exp ... if USD 3 to 4 maybe still okies... btw which VPN company that u subscribe to? or u plan to setup a server oversea and host urself?

No choice, the dedicated server is expensive. I plan to setup one but let's just wait till next year. If they lift up the cap then no point for it.

u all speed increasing?? why mine decreased from 50 to ~5 now??

Lol ... Dedicated to oversea? that is very very very exp... Hmmm Heard that Tmnet CEO stepping down? Hopefully things got better? or just might get worse... I am totally agree with u setting up server. In a way I myself almost wanted to ask my friend in Aus to do so too. However , remember this if ur IP is fixed, and somehow tmnet or oversea IP provider found out u abusing the network , they might just banned u ? About TMNET lifting up the throttling i think is rather quite impossible. There is another way actually but dunno who in this world willing to do it... Setup new P2P protocol running on secure line. Something like every PC is tunnel to each other using very secure format or encrypted http protocol instead of just normal P2P. I myself wonder if that is possible

I was talking to a friend working in TM net, she confirmed the throttling, and will continue to do so. She also mentioned TM net is in the process of working out new charges, something like if you download a lot, like 100GB/month or something, you will need to pay more, depend on your usage...

Yeah, especially the unmetered bandwidth one. I'm not abusing the network, i'm providing VPN service. I don't care and shouldn't know what my clients going to do with the VPN. In fact, that's the secure and anonymous policy.

I already asked the server provider regarding if clients using the VPN connection with torrent traffic. If TMNet ban the server, I'll try to consult cyberlaw people before going further.
