xkryptonx Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I recently installed Nord VPN. It has an attractive offer of three years for amazing low price as compared to other VPN. @imaddam provided me a key, and very grateful to him. I searched the internet for performance review of Nord VPN. It has received positive reviews from almost all over the internet (Speed and Privacy especially). However i encounter a problem with this VPN. When i use P2P on it, the download speeds is around 1MB/s. Without VPN i get a download speed of 2.9 MB/s. Direct download works just fine. I have tired different P2P download but result is the same. It won't go above 1MB/s. Any idea how to speed up P2P download speed with this VPN. TIA. Edit: I also need help with seeding. Any sort of help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoore Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 That is the best speed available using Nord VPN. The encryption and decryption process uses alot of resources or "overhead" as it's called. Overhead slows down the connection and is why VPN provider have been experimenting with a faster and safer method. Wireguard is a VPN encryption protocol with the smallest overhead. Currently I use Mullvad VPN as it is the fastest Wireguard VPN provider with no logs. I use the official Wireguard app on Windows and TunSafe on Android. I torrent constantly and have tried Nord, PIA, Viking, Express, IPVanish, CyberGhost, and many more I can't remember. All had the same issue with speed. NO VPN IS AS FAST AS YOUR CONNECTION WITHOUT ONE! FACT! They all try to use catch terms and money back offers with the lowest price possible if you only buy years. There are 3 Wireguard VPN providers Mullvad, Blokada, and WireVPN. There are a few free ones that are junk. Mullvad is the best currently and has a monthly only. Seeding is done on slow connections with another subscription to a seedbox. Seedbox is like GoogleDrive or OneDrive, only for torrents. You get x amount of storage and x amount of speed depending on how much your willing to spend. Seedbox providers are often unreliable and have more crashes and downtime than any paid service should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashRose Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Is not for P2P because it has no port forwarding, here is the right provider for P2P https://nvpn.net/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedbox providers are often unreliable and have more crashes and downtime than any paid service should have. I found a thread on Reddit. Disabling the options "Apply rate to uTP connections" and "Enable bandwidth Management" was suggested. The speed has reached 2.8 MB/s which I am happy with. I have a question: Does disabling these options impacts the security in anyway? And about seeding i am a regular downloader not some torrent uploader. I only wish to give back what i had taken. But with Nord VPN the uploading process is also affected. 1 hour ago, SlashRose said: Is not for P2P because it has no port forwarding, here is the right provider for P2P https://nvpn.net/index.php The are dedicated servers for P2P in Nord VPN. It means they intended to support P2P traffic. The VPN you suggested, if i may ask you show me a screenshot of the your torrent client while downloading/ Seeding on the VPN you suggested.

halvgris Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 my friend has nordvpn he has up to 200 mbit so it depends on connection and server. he is constantly downloading torrents. i myself use purevpn just because i got a deal 1usd/month. i use it for streaming mostly for bbc etc (uk) and protection when connecting to as someone here mentioned i use sort of a seedbox for torrents. i have used nordvpn, cyberghost and mullvad before but since i'm now limited to a 4g setup i can't really push the limits. i get up to 46 mbits but in general 20-34 mbit.

I tired to access the Pure VPN but they have blocked IPs of my country which clearly indicates they don't want to have customers from my country. Besides, Nord VPN has dedicated servers for their P2P traffic. If someone using Nord VPN along with utorrent / Bittorrrent could provide their client settings with working download and seeding, will greatly be appreciated. Edit: I am getting an upload speed of about 200 KB/s, and without VPN, it is 1.2 MB/s. Look like i'm unable to connect to peers (i'm using utorrent, FYI) that is why the upload speed is so slow. If i can get working configuration (Working upload speed and ability to connect with peers who haven't finished downloads) of uTorrent / Bittorrent, i hope it will help me resolve my problem.

Israeli_Eagle Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Check which server & country you use! Do not use servers which have high pings! UDP is faster as TCP. Fast & good DNS servers might help as well. And... A too weak CPU might have problems with encryption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection is set to UDP but the problem persists. Not a problem with CPU as it can achieve a speed of 3.20 Ghz (2 cores, 4 threads). Edit: I am able to achieve 850 KB/s with hotspot shield as it provides AES- 256 Encryption (But the problem is that i am unable to connect to most peers (Leechs) that is why the uploading process is slow. I am Looking for a way that could me connect properly to the leech(s). Since the downloading speed was resolved by making adjustment in torrent client i hope the upload could be resolved that way. Thanks for your Suggestion though. ( I just happened to ran out of reactions for today). If you are on Nord VPN, can you share your client setting with us?

Israeli_Eagle Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Usually the VPN servers should be max 1000-2000 km far (but of course still out of your own country), otherwise you get already high pings. And the speeds with and without VPN you can only compare on the same target web servers! 14 minutes ago, xkryptonx said: Not a problem with CPU as it can achieve a speed of 3.20 Ghz (2 cores, 4 threads).

Ich will nur zurück zu geben, was ich genommen hatte. Aber mit Nord VPN der Upload-Prozess ist ebenfalls betroffen. Das sind dedizierte Server für P2P in Nord VPN. Es heißt, sie sollte P2P-Verkehr unterstützen. Die VPN Sie vorgeschlagen, wenn ich fragen darf Sie mir zeigen einen Screenshot von dem Client Ihrer torrent beim Herunterladen / Seeding auf dem VPN Sie vorgeschlagen. What is there is not a fact, it is a fact to be able to properly operate P2P, that port forwarding is supported and that only a few VPN providers are supported and that is what you need and nvpn is also the fastest vpn provider.

What i am looking for is a way to increase my upload speed. Direct upload or download works just fine. So i am looking for answer and possible reason what is halting my upload speed. If there was issue with port forwarding, i wouldn't be able to download with full speed on my connection. I really appreciate that you took your time to answer my query. That is really appreciated indeed. I wonder what Israeli_Eagle has to say about format of VPN and how it is going to help me with increasing my upload speeds. I really appreciated you guys and/or gals taking your time trying to help me with this issue.

Ich schätze , dass Sie Ihre Zeit , um meine Anfrage zu beantworten haben. Das ist wirklich in der Tat sehr geschätzt. Ich frage mich , was Israeli_Eagle hat über Format von VPN zu sagen und wie es geht mir mein Upload helfen Geschwindigkeiten zu erhöhen. Ich schätzte man wirklich Jungs und / oder gals Ihre Zeit versucht, mir zu helfen, sich mit diesem Thema. Leider lief ich für heute von Reaktionen aus, so kann ich reagieren nicht auf Ihre Post und zeigen meine Zeichen der Wertschätzung. The portforwording increases your upload speed, because without portforwording the upload ports are not really open, you can also check with the providers.

Almost all VPN providers support it, tho often not official. And then you only need a server URL/IP and your account (name & password etc), works perfectly without any app. Because some also use it based of Linux. 9 minutes ago, SlashRose said: The portforwording increases your upload speed, because without portforwording the upload ports are not really open, you can also check with the providers.

I will keep trying for sometime with hope that i might be connect at sometime then i will try the Cyberghost VPN. Actually, i like / need the Tor over VPN feature of Nord VPN that is why i can go to any extant to get Nord VPN working on my PC. Otherwise i will switch and try Cyberghost as it offer an attractive plan of three years. I have requested for account of Nord VPN here. I will check that out and see if it connects with the other account that i may get anytime soon (The one i use might be shared with other users and probably that is why it is not working.) I will report then. EDIT: Finally got connect. Time to check the speeds. Will report soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israeli_Eagle Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Good luck!! And please remember: The easiest way to block server URLs for providers & government is always the local DNS! So... Better use already (before VPN) a better & clean DNS, can be set already on router or your OS settings. The best DNS are usually 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for IPv4.
