VPN on mining pool

[Ken_terrance]

This question I'm about to ask may sound annoying to the ear, if that's the case pls pardon me, is it possible to use VPN on mining pool just to get better speed and less rejected shares? The pool I'm using supports for example USA so if I use VPN and my location change to USA will this increase performance?

No. Using a VPN will increase network latency, ie slow it down.

VPN can help you only if you have problems with internet connection with mining pool or mining is illegal in your country. But as it was said - it slows connection and decreases your profit.

You don't understand how mining works, the higher the latency the lower the chances of getting shares accepted, don't use VPN just change location on the pool and try them out one by one, I find out that US server works better for me that Europe servers

It's a bad idea, I get what you are trying to do but you will lose more than you will earn with VPN, don't forget that VPN syncs with tunnels before actually starts to work, it won't benefits mining purposes, it's a big no no

There is no problem in trying but I'm sure you will end up quiting because it's not going to be a good or smooth experience, more shares will be lost too, it's better to find better internet connection or network, I don't use USB modem for connecting miners I use routers instead

if u have multiple rigs sometimes creating a stratum proxy will help with latency problems
im not sure if the project is still being developed
but searching for "stratum proxy" should come up with a few sources

dont use vpn for mining and hoping better shares, try join on pool with biggest percentage of network & closest server, eu pool are good on ethermine

but i still chose the closest one, you wont see big diffence as stil same pool even different server, the crowded more shares are given
