@chomaniac:
One doubt. When you use the
VPN torrents speeds are normal in day time right?
I am not able to check this myself as Airtel does not seem to throttle my Torrents in day time too ( they want me use my GBS fast so that they can annoy me with Smartbytes redirection or they have enough BW left in the POP i connect)
Hmmm... Since I don't use BB @ home on weekdays daytime, I didn't notice the throttling.
Had a chance to do some tests today...
- They were throttling torrents @1Mbps( on a 4mbps connection)
Turned on my OpenVPN and the speed was @1mbps only. Speed tests returned only 1 mbps with VPN !!!
Switched off VPN and speedtest returned 4mbps!
ie means they are throttling VPN too @ daytime...
So they have policy setup to favor HTTP,HTTPS & Youtube and rest of the traffic gets low priority either it be VPN or SSH.. ie my guess.
So there is no use of VPN as well... one can take this up with Airtel if they have lot of free time
🙂..
I need to check this with office VPN as well....( IPSec VPN)
