Free VPN'S slows down streaming speeds.

[Primekid]

I've downloaded a free VPN and all my streams were buffering then disconnected it and all streams were running smoothly.

Because free VPN's are kak.

And a security risk.

At the moment I'm not using any VPN and has no problem with my streams.

Not always. Sometimes a VPN can improve speed as well with better routing etc.

I've used express VPN trial and saw no difference with my speed and then I went into their settings and changed recommended protocol into open protocol and my streams were twice the speed but my trial has expired.

Do you have a question in there or is this just a statement of your experience?

Yes its something I've realized.

VPNs can help in certain scenarios for speed but most of the time (if you're using a proper ISP) it will make things slower more times than not.

And "free" VPNs, now you're just asking for trouble.

Sometimes it is just pebcak. I get line speed on my both my vpn (200mbs) for its uses. However... #9

He is not trying to do anything dramatic. MyBB is borged. I get this each and every day. Sometimes when posting or replying you get stuck hanging. Somtimes for almost 30 seconds. If you click the button again, it will post twice.

Just a quick question while I remember, I looked into them a few months back when you kept shilling their $1 per server (minimum $2 in actuality) offering, but I was confused. Windscribe amended the invoice summary with 'every server selected grants you 10GB of data' or something like that. Is that data for use on all servers, and the ones you selected are unlimited?

Just the location(s) (ZA or UK or US etc.) you select since it's à la carte. Will give you access to all servers in that location.
