Hello! AMule uses both TCP and UDP protocols for different functions. TCP is primarily used for client-to-client transfers and connections to eDonkey servers, while UDP is used for extended protocol features, according to Wikipedia. For your account you have forwarded a few UDP only ports. Please change them to "TCP and UDP" and test again. Furthermore, if your system is Windows, make sure that the Windows Firewall (or Defender etc.) allows incoming packets for aMule on both private and public networks: if the VPN is considered a public network (check it out) by default incoming packets will be rejected or dropped. Kind regards

Hello! Possible causes: Streaming services (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) often rate-limit or deprioritize known VPN exit IP addresses, or IP addresses assigned to specific ASNs. Speed tests don’t trigger this, but video streams do. Try different AirVPN servers. Too large virtual network interface MTU causing excessive fragmentation, optionally with broken MTU path discovery. Streaming uses sustained flows that are more sensitive to MTU mismatches than bursty speed tests. Shrink MTU to 1280 bytes to check whether you get any improvement. If not, consider MSS clamping, just in case the PMTU discovery is broken upstream (not an uncommon case). Set MSS to 40 bytes less than MTU, for example MTU 1320 bytes, MSS 1280 bytes. On Asus routers you'll need to do this via iptables: as far as we know there's no option to do it on the Web UI. Asus Adaptive QoS or Bandwidth Limiter on the router. Check and disable such tools if they are active. If DNS is outside the VPN but traffic is inside you can hit far-away CDN nodes, causing slow streams. Make sure to enforce strict DNS settings on the router so that it will query only VPN DNS. Kind regards

(Edited on April 23) Just as a note, since the first days of April the situation with VPNs in Russia is going into the real Cheburnet phase: Spyware VPN detectors will be inserted into all the major commercial mobile apps (Max, VK, Yandex, banks, phone carriers, etc.), every detected endpoint IP will most likely go into the country-wide blacklist The increase of the cross-border backbone bandwidth has already been vetoed because it has grown over the top in the last year due to the VPNs Because of that there are rumors that more than 15 GB/month of cross-border traffic will have added cost for every end user (proven but action currently delayed due to the technical difficulties in detecting the cross-border traffic at the ISP level) VPN software will be detected on every in-country VPS hosting provider to prevent using them as bridges (it is already a common practice to circumvent white list blocks) Recently there were wired Internet shutdowns looking very much like tests of white list blocks (before that only mobile Internet had white lists) By the way, it's very hard to find any AirVPN server which is not yet blocked. But I can still find some (mostly in Netherlands) by automated scanning. AmneziaWG is necessary, of course

It's like a drama movie in text form, the way you describe your suffering I like it. (The text, not the suffering. I'm not sadistic..) You bound qB to Eddie, so you are safe from leaks. But are you safe from Windows? As you're using Eddie, it is strongly recommended to enable and use Network Lock so that even if Windows betrays you and qB is one day no longer bound to the interface once known as Eddie, qB won't leak. Irrelevant to your use case. It doesn't. If 58025 is forwarded, that port is reserved for you on all servers. UPnP is not supported. And also dangerous because it's sent to your local network, too, and that may cause your router to open that port as well. Disable it in qB. Also set Peer connection protocol to TCP only. uTP is not UDP. Do not mix those up; uTP is detrimental to BitTorrent via VPN.
