Hi,
Can anyone give me their personal experience regarding this, there are so many options available, but would prefer hearing from people here in SA, preferably also on the Telkom LTE.
I’m not searching for a VPN to bypass my 50gb P2P limit. I’m searching for a service that supports P2P traffic since it would seem like the anti-piracy agencies are sending out letters left, right and center, Also with new institutions like “BREIN” http://mybroadband.co.za/news/inter...ts-permission-to-collect-your-ip-address.html and http://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/158951-south-african-bittorrent-users-beware.html and the local SAFACT, I would prefer to be on the safe side.
What I would like the service to include is the following :
• P2P Traffic
• DNS service
• Anonymous browsing* (This does not bother me to much as I can just use one of the proxies on “HidemyAss”, But would be nice if its included in the VPN package)
I have tried IBVPN https://www.ibvpn.com/ which works like a charm. The P2P only options cost +- R70 (1 month contract), But if I want the full package which includes above bullets it will set me back R170per month.
It drops my connection every once in a while and it doesn’t auto reconnect, This defeats the purpose of VPN since Utorrent will continue downloading….:-/. I’m also not that happy that they keep certain logs for 10 days, it also uses dynamic IP’s instead of shared IPs. Speed wise I get about 700kb per second. I don’t know if this is good or bad for a VPN (Get +-40mb on speedtest when VPN is disconnected)
