elcr 1 Posted ... I'm getting an extremely high ping and low speeds whenever I upload anything with the VPN on. I've tried a couple UK servers and a Belgian one and it happens on all of them. My speeds normally, with the VPN one on the right. Sadly this is the best you can get in my area. My speeds when uploading a video to YouTube. It's the exact same when uploading through other means, like seeding a torrent for example. I've seen pings anywhere from 195ms to 1150ms. The only change I've made to the client's settings was to downgrade TAP to 9.9.23 as suggested in a thread here, which fixed another issue I had wherein every time I downloaded something through Steam my entire connection would slow to around 100KB/s. I thought that change might be the source of this problem, so I upgraded it back to the most recent version, but it's no different. Furthermore, I get the same speeds if I try uploading on my phone running OpenVPN for Android. I don't know where to start trying to fix this.

LZ1 672 Posted ... Hello! Which router do you have? If it's a Virgin Media setup you may benefit from this guide. Alternatively, you could try different protocols in the client: switch to TCP for example and then reconnect to a server. Try Netherlands servers too. Otherwise you may benefit from trying the Beta client . When torrenting, you need to remote port-forward on this site. Quote Hide LZ1's signature Hide all signatures Hi there, are you new to AirVPN?

elcr 1 Posted ... My ISP is BT, and I'm using their BT Home Hub 4 router. I tried a number of protocols: UDP ports 443 80 and 2018, TCP ports 443 and 80, SSH port 22, and SSL port 443. None of them made any difference. I tested them by choosing the new protocol, hitting save, connecting to a new server, restarting a YouTube upload, then running a speed test.I tried with two servers in the Netherlands and got similar results to those in the UK and Belgium.I tried the experimental client, and once again, similar results. I followed a guide here before to forward a port for qBittorrent, but like I said this happens with all uploading, not just torrents. I didn't have a torrent client open whilst conducting the above tests. One curious thing I've noticed is that the reported upload speed in the client occasionally exceeds that which my connection should be able to do. Since I get 1mbps up at the best of times, my understanding is that my upload speed should max out at 125KB/s, but occasionally the client will show 140KB/s or 195KB/s or whatever. Could that have something to do with the problem? Quote Share this post Link to post
elcr 1 Posted ... OK, I've done some more tests. First I tried setting the mssfix directive as recommended in a thread here. It didn't do anything.Then I tried changing the TCP/UDP socket buffer sizes from their default of 128KB to 256KB. No difference. I also tried 8KB just to see, and it didn't do anything either. To get as close to the metal as possible, I reset my router, installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 16.04 with the experimental Eddie client on a laptop, and used a wired connection. Tested by starting a YouTube upload then pinging Google in a terminal. I saw nothing but 900-1100ms until the instant I stopped the upload at which point it dropped to the usual 40ms. I reckon there's either something in the default Eddie settings or router settings I need to change, or the router is just terrible. I've searched for others having problems with BT Home Hubs and VPNs, but I've only found complaints that they just flat out won't connect to VPNs, nothing about really high pings.

elcr 1 Posted ... I've read about routers being unable to handle VPN traffic, but in those cases it's when the VPN is running on the router itself. In my case I haven't changed anything on the router's side. The client frequently shows I'm uploading at a greater speed than my connection is capable of. I tried capping my upload speed in qBittorrent, and I noticed that the longer the client shows I'm uploading below my highest possible speed, the longer my ping stays relatively normal. Is it possible that when uncapped it's somehow trying to send more upload traffic than my connection can deal with? (it's worth pointing out I have no idea what I'm talking about, this is just pure speculation) Quote Share this post Link to post
