Are there any VPNs that support the throughput speeds many consumers have access to these days? I have my client set to a 10:1 ratio, but rarely will a file act

Are there any VPNs that support the throughput speeds many consumers have access to these days? I have my client set to a 10:1 ratio, but rarely will a file actually reach that because I don't want to leave my slow VPN online for that long degrading my performance for other online tasks.
- CaptainMarvel 6y agoYou can use split tunnelling or linux network namespaces to keep the VPN running at all times, but with only your torrent client‘s network connection going through it. Some VPN companies also provide apps with the feature built-in.
- oefrha 6y agoI've used commercial VPN with acceptable (think ~100Mbps) but not amazing throughput. But for BT I just set up a secondary on-demand network interface on my Linux server specifically for OpenVPN (just need a shell script to add a couple ip(8) rules, and stick that shell script into the up command of ovpn config). Then I bind my transmission-daemon to that specific interface (bind-address-ipv4 option). This way all BT traffic goes through OpenVPN, but other traffic is not affected. Works for any OpenVPN provider.
