TCP is very slow. How to use UDP?

[jpair666 0]

1. How come UDP doesn't work for me? Is it some configuration on the client or my router or is my ISP blocking it? Is there a way to make UDP work?

 

2. If only TCP is available, is there a way to make it faster?

@ 1. It could be your router. By default port 443 is a TCP port and many routers use a 'macro' type of setup that if you choose allow https what its doing is allowing port 442 tcp. I have no clue what router your on but its worth looking into.

 

@ 2. In the client you could choose SSH connection. That uses TCP but its generally faster than a raw tcp connection

Thanks. It's definitely my ISP or modem rather than my pc cause I can connect to TCP fine from other locations.

 

I can't connect to any of the TCP connections (443, 80, 53).

 

I have a weird modem/router combo from the ISP.

 

I don't see where to choose SSH. Is that socks in preferences??

Here's the client overview:

In the protocols section just choose SSH or SSL even.

If you have the spare time test as many as possible. Performance can greatly differ based on your PC/Router/ISP setup.

TYVM, apparently I'm running the antique model
