Kryptotel VPN Review

im noticing the USA is getting shafted on speed krypto wants me to turn off my firewall and antivirus to increase bandwidth without the vpn i get 11 mbps with i only get 1.8 or less on tcp and no more that 5mbps on the constantly shifting server otherwise its miserable constantly cycling through servers doing speed tests to find one no better than dial up what the hell

First, I d like to say that all those who are bitching,crying and qq’ing over your torrent speed – GET REAL! This is a VPN service,not a Seedbox provider- nor is it an ISP-your connection speeds to torrents will only be as good as the peers/seeds that actually SEED at a decent speed and as fast as your ISP connection is.

If you are having problems, check your router- make sure you have VPN passthrough enabled, check your ISP policy- see what bandwidths get throttled and at what level of use,though your ISP cannot ‘see’ what you are upping or DL’ing, they can monitor your bandwidth usage.

Second, Kryptotel does not throttle speeds or anything that will interrupt your own DL/Up speeds provided by your own ISP other than any overhead from the encryption of your connection.

Learn about VPN protocol and about your own connection limits before making stupid crying games over torrent speeds.

Ive used this service over a year and 4 months now and have not had the problems I see people bitching about on this forum. Ive upgraded my own private network to ‘business’ class for better speeds,less ISP bandwidth monitoring -as it is classified as business now.

I bought one month and I’m glad I didn’t buy more. For all their servers, there’s a “TCP” and a “normal” method of connecting. I’ve never actually seen the speeds of the “normal” connection, because I can’t connect for more that 10 seconds. Literally 10 seconds is my record. Usually I’m knocked off immediately.

I can connect to the “TCP” servers, but they never give speeds above about 250 kB/s, and don’t stay connected for more than a few hours. The Kryptotel software does not auto-reconnect, so your torrents just sit there until you manually first disconnect from the dormant server (an oddly necessary step that took me hours to figure out), then reconnect. For this VPN to be getting a 4.5 star rating is a joke. Bottom basement price, bottom basement product.

I paid for the 1 month plan, and I’m sure glad I did. It works fine, customer support has been good, but it constantly connects and disconnects while downloading a torrent. Sucks, because it’s a good price, just bad service

After install, couldn’t connect, contacted support, they had no clue. Then tried again off and on for the next 4 hours, finally connected, first to an usa server, speed dropped to nothing in a few minutes, tried Australia worked fine till morning, speed dropped. I am doing torrent need reliability and speed. Can’t trust this service
