What kind of server to chose on VPNs ?

Post by Menard »

Hi

I wonder what can bring a special server for torrents provided by vpns, I used to chose the same server than for anything, I don't even know if it is a TCP or UDP server ... and it seems to work well, but sometimes when I have some problems with a torrent I wonder if it is relevant to try to find something else

Personally I took some countries I liked and speed/ping tested the urls, individual IPs if feeling thorough, and then choose thereafter, though can of-course change from time to time as not static situation. Also if some not support torrenting and/or port-forwarding(if at all), but since works for you atleast often, then non-issue there.

I'm still using openvpn protocol, where udp recommended if remember right, hence choose that here.

Yeah, good idea try if server-change fixes intermittent issues, or recheck speed-test of current possibly problematic IP so know if related or not.

Not an expert in this though, by any means admittedly.
