Andi35137y@runfrodorun i think he means that for some programms like games that might use udp he has to tunnel to get a connection which of course is slow...
-
@runfrodorun you can use either one. Personally i use tcp where i don't have to worry about dropped packets but udp is faster.
-
@runfrodorun i don't play games though vpn either. the vpn can run tcp and udp traffic though whichever one you set as the transfer protocal. Ive always been the type that likes consistancy over speed so i use tcp on my vpn. Really if you have good compression setup using a vpn over tcp can get you faster speeds if your internet has a speed cap from your provider. Which you probably knew all of this
-
Connection via TCP is about 5 times slower. I'm not even that far away from home. Also not many packets are dropped but simply the checks for that are taking away speed

@Andi Not just games. Literally everything. Ping is rekt, up- and downstream is rekt.

Thiets52yMy school generally thought that education was a myth and would just give you a bunch of useless homework. Everyone just didn't understand what to do in general, someone turned to services like https://ca.edubirdie.com/do-my-home..., someone stayed up nights to pass everything. Oh, that's right, they gave out everything a week before the deadline. And it was all in quarantine, the worst time of my life.

My school blocks all UDP traffic going outside their network. 1 - 65535. Which in turn means that I had to switch to TCP for my VPN to connect. Now my VPN is slow as shit. -.-
