Title: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: pekv2 on April 20, 2014, 01:12:29 AM PIA east server boosts my connection by 26mbps.
Normal connection I get 58mbps, connected to east PIA, it jumps me to 84mbps! Crazy. Edit: It jumps from 80-87mbps. https://i.imgur.com/YULyGb9.jpg Title: Re: PIA east server boosts my Post by: pekv2 on April 20, 2014, 01:21:48 AM shit, mideast jumps me to 124 but stopped at 118.
https://i.imgur.com/YvwoKO0.jpg My connection is a 50 mbps. We changed to a 1000mbps linksys hub from a 100mbps linksys hub, connecting to a 1000mbps router which connects to a 1000mbps modem by motorola. Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: pekv2 on April 20, 2014, 01:35:59 AM I did some real world tests rather than speedtest.net.
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/download.html downloaded the 1gig with pia closes server mideast, got 3.61MB/s, without PIA I got 6.31MB/s. disappointing. Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed?

From google or verizon or someone for cheap.
price vs internet here is a rip off. Comcast gots it monopolized. Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: John (John K.) on April 20, 2014, 06:36:34 AM Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: meliz98 on April 20, 2014, 06:38:42 AM What is PIA?

Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: pekv2 on April 24, 2014, 11:12:03 AM do most providers use PPTP, IPSEC or a few other possibilities ? I dont even know what those are :'( Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: Justin00 on April 24, 2014, 03:14:50 PM diff types of VPN protocols.
What client software do you use to connect to your vpn ? Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: HeroC on May 14, 2014, 03:14:34 AM diff types of VPN protocols. What client software do you use to connect to your vpn ? Most people use the OpenVPN protocol with whatever client the VPN provider offers. Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: pekv2 on May 14, 2014, 11:38:31 AM diff types of VPN protocols. What client software do you use to connect to your vpn ? pia client. with full encryption. I haven't touched my vpn in like a long while now. With mining+vpn, ping is harsher. I'll be back on it once I get my rasberry PI to run my gridseed/future gridseeds. My internet is just much faster with pia than alone with my ISP. It's like with vpn, it cuts through all the bs that the ISP has. :s Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: makebitcoin on May 14, 2014, 12:09:17 PM Wow thats crazy that it actually boosts your internet speed instead of slowing it down. I've used PIA but it only maintened my normal internet speed.
Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: makebitcoin on May 14, 2014, 02:59:12 PM Just tried the speedtest.net out and apperently it does 3x my upload speed. Never knew a VPN could actually boost your speed.
Title: Re: Whats your PIA speed? Post by: Acidyo on June 11, 2014, 06:02:55 PM If you don't mind, may I know what is PIA ? I too am interested, what is this these guys are talking about? :D |
