Title: Newbie ask
Post by: vampiremax on July 13, 2009, 05:53:07 PM

Hi, I'm very interested on the VPN.
But i'm using wireless at home with TM net 4mbps shared with 3 laptop.
My question is:
Can i use VPN with wireless?
Or there's a must to put on cable?

as long as you're behind a streamyx connection, vpn DOES help to improve your local client's p2p speed.

Mean it should be ok to use vpn thru wireless?
Coz my house is just a small apartment and my wireless is in living room.
Any my signal to the wireless is always in excellent.
So, which mean i should able to get a good connection from vpn also right?

excellent wireless connection to your home router = no difference than connecting a lan cable to it. If you're still in doubt just sign up the 3 days evaluation.

A strong wireless connection to your router is fine. You may purchase a lan cable if you wish, it may or may not affect your downloading speeds that much. However, if you do subscribe to BolehVPN, be aware that whether or not you are connecting to a wireless router, your download speed may still be slow.

This could be caused by several other factors, such as:
a)Bad ip with bad routing to BVPN servers
b)Your other roommates hogging all the bandwith
c)Lack of seeders

http://www.bolehvpn.net/forum/index.php/topic,385.0.html (it's sticky post anyway...)

unless reuben capped vpn, else you'll get, theoretically,

4Mbps = 4x1024/8 = 512KB/s

minus noise + peer quality + packet loss from vpn host, you can laugh secretly if you get over 400KB/s

approximate 360 kB/sec maximum assuming seeder/peers are good.

adam7979 u forgot to take off PPPoE overhead and VPN overhead

Broken record: Don't forget that those numbers are merely a rough estimate, and will decrease if your roommates are also downloading / using the net heavily.

hrm...
I tot vpn won affect by other user downloading?

Title: Re: Newbie ask
Post by: adam7979 on July 20, 2009, 03:35:12 PM

imagine the plus highway, heavy traffic, especially when it comes to toll, everybody queued up @ the cash lane. ok you have smart tag *vpn*

bam, you still have to share the same highway with other users after the toll plaza, only thing is you're not limited by the slow cash paying process (tmnut's speed cap)

if, if, too many ppl use vpn (everyone got smart tag) you'll still be slowed down.....

Vampiremax:

I think adam7979 misunderstood the question so don't read what he said or it will confuse you further.
Other customers of our VPN in most cases should not affect your speed but other users of your Streamyx internet line (anyone who shares the internet line with you) will be affected if you are downloading at max speed.

This behaviour is not unique to VPN but it's like, let's say you have a 1 mbit connection and you are downloading at max 1 mbit already through VPN that leaves very little for other people in the house who are using the same internet connection.

Just for clarification.

adam7979: your explanation is confusing and implies that our VPN has not enough bandwidth to go around. What Wolffeh is saying is that if your housemate who is using the same line is downloading at max speed, then of course when you use VPN on the same line, you of course won't get max speed cause someone else is using the internet line.

well i NEVER said your VPN has not enough bandwidth to go around, what i meant was IF everyone has smart tag (all his housemates have VPN)...

cheers

On your original question about wireless - I'm torrent on a wireless-N network. With 2mbps Screamyx, uTorrent reports average 180-190kBps download. I limit my upload to 26kBps.

oh.. ok...
then how bout download using xunlei or thunder 5?
coz i download chinese movie more..
as i know u guys always use Utorrent...
can vpn support xunlei or thunder 5?

Title: Re: Newbie ask
Post by: Chris on July 26, 2009, 07:21:52 PM

Yes, but we do not advise you to use it.

Xunlei and Thunder aren't very reliable in my experience, and they become such a massive drain on your comp. Also most private trackers have banned these sort of clients.

I advise you to use uTorrent.
