I didn't bother waiting. Service seems worth it, I got a trial account and lived up to my expectations. Thank you

Most of the encryption algorithms are handled by hardware, using CPU extensions. But packet switching still requires vanilla CPU power. So yeah, CPU horsepower still required but not as much as the days of old. Also the newer, more efficient ciphers help a lot as well.

With 300+ users you would need some beefy CPUs in the server. I would guess that is the bottleneck, not the actual connection. VPNs are encrypted and require the processing power to handle the number of users connected. Not sure what their server specs actually are, but would be curious to know.

Hi Everyone! Over the years there's been advice to avoid μTP in torrent clients like qBittorrent and use TCP exclusively (when using a VPN). And I have followed this advice. But now I wanted to check in again to see if that is still the case - Is it still recommended to avoid μTP? I'm asking for two reasons - 1) when this advice first came out I think we only really had OpenVPN. Now the default is Wireguard. Does that change anything? And also 2) I recently had a couple of torrents I was trying to download and they were stalled and dead. But when I enabled μTP with TCP, they sprang to life and downloaded lickety-split. So, just wanted to see if anything had changed - or whether my experience was just an anecdotal one-off. Cheers!
