I just subscribe to Streamyx 4MB package, and the first thing I notice is that the torrent speed was worse that when I was on the 1MB package. Moreover, it also appears that Rapidshare/Megaupload/Hotfile downloads are throttled as well now, but not when I was on the 1MB package. Running speed tests do indeed show that the speed is 4MB, and browsing speed improved substantially. Nonetheless, it pisses me off no end, and after a couple days of searching the web, here I am.
My primary purpose is to download torrents using my Synology DS407e NAS, which is on 24/7. I assume that if the NAS supports openVPN, I can use bolehvpn? I will try to see if I can install/activate openVPN on my NAS tonight, and if all goes well, I will start my trial.
However, my other concern is accessing the NAS remotely using dynamic DNS, since I do check on the status or add downloads when I am not in the country. Is this still possible when I use bolenvpn?
Also, can bolehvpn be used from Singapore using a Starhub 3G account? Starhubs, and to a lesser extent, Singtel uses a pool of IPs addresses, and trying to download from sites like Rapidshare, users will frequently come across instances where the IP is already downloading, or has just downloaded a file, forcing the user to wait. Its an extremely frustrating exercise and will test anyone's sanity.
Finally, I have another Synology NAS connected in Singapore to a Starhub 3G account, and due to the protocol they use (RFC-1918 range of IPs) I am not able to connect remotely using dynamic dns. So say if I have two or more accounts with bolehvpn, can I, for example, use one in Malaysia to connect to the other in Singapore?
Here's hoping bolenvpn is the answer to all my problems.
