Boycie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've put this in here as couldn't think of which forum to put it in. So if your in the hunt for a VPN and having trouble finding the best one for you! Give VPNify a go it will show you the best download speeds check it out, https://www.vpnify.me/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sorry to say mate but that site is so wrong, i've got both viprvpn and ghost premium and both max out my speeds (70+Mb) if i choose a UK based server, and both get well over 30+meg for US and most other countries...according to that page ghost gets 5 in UK and most other places around the world and vipr only scores 6 in UK and less elsewhere. So dont know how they are testign these VPN's but they need a more accurate method as the current one is so far out its paintless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullit2004 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I use Cyberghost, it is a good VPN. Tor is another good one, just wouldn't trust downloading anything through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snuffs99 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No apologies needed mate, if it was only a little out then yeah great site to use but its way out from my experiences. My post could read a bit better i suppose as i wasn't trying to have a go or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a few T's but I'm not so happy with the risks as things currently stand... Still on ghost premium here mate, up to now i've not had any issues at all with it, nice user interface, doesn't leak any DNS info or your real IP and its very easy to use, UK based server will hide you and maintain high and stable speeds.....more than enough to download torrents etc and bypass any (or most) geo restrictions. If your only ever going to use a VPN to download then maybe try using TOR as a socks proxy instead, its free then and you should remain hidden. @tuff FWIW mate ghost also works on iphone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdos Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 @ snuffs, I'm presuming you are meaning CyberGhost? If so, can you apply settings to the router to avoid the need for setting up individual devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 @ snuffs, I'm presuming you are meaning CyberGhost? If so, can you apply settings to the router to avoid the need for setting up individual devices? Yeah on about cyberghost mate. And yes afaik you can set up your router to run it so all devices connected to the router are hidden, it runs on openVPN so provided your router is not locked down to your ISP's services etc i can't see why you'd have any problems.....however from what i understand in order to change country etc you'd have to access the router interface each time to change settings, but you'd have to do that with every VPN if you chose to have ti through your router........ I only have it running on my PC mate as i currently have a homehub 5 which doesn't allow much "advance" settings, can be done but very hit and miss with this shitty router. I only went with Ghost as i got a cracking deal (£20/year sub) but as i say not had any issues with it and tbh its more than enough for simply downloading shite.....if your planning on hacking sites or anything then i'd probably be more inclined to go for a "better" VPN service along with a decent DNS server like vipr etc but all in all IMHO ghost is more than good enough for the average joe bloggs.

jakdos Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Well, paid for it, installed on asus router after a lot of messing around (had to remove merlin firmware and put stock back on. Download speeds dropped from 100meg to 20meg. Tried most of the different servers and cannot get more than 20meg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Can't really help in any way mate as i don't have it done via my router. Well thats one way to make me feel a cunt though. Last time i recommend a product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time i recommend a product. Soz mate, not my intention. Weird how you say you still get your full fibre speed but mine is 1/5 of normal I've raised a ticket with them. The router thing was weird. It would not work with merlin firmware. installed stock and it was fine but didn't have the option to turn off. Put merlin back on and it works fine. That's all a red herring though - main issue is slowdown in speeds. Which server do you use - I'm on 1-gb.cg-dialup.net ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've got way mroe than 2 to choose from and mine are all labelled London s02-101 etc, remember i log in via their windows GUI. I'm running cyberghost premium on version 6.0.2.1981 and do more or less hit top speeds on both up and down on most servers. I've just logged onto that London-S04-103 to check the speeds. I pay for infinity 2 (78 down 20 up) Here is the result from London-S04-103 I assume you've followed one of these instructions to set up your router?? https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List/Index/312 I may have to go the router route and see if it works ok for me !!!!!! One thing i have noticed is the following. Routers are not equipped with state of the art hardware, meaning you will have speed losses when using a VPN connection (due to minor CPU power to process encryption). Direct connections (from your PC, Laptop, Tablet, etc. to the VPN network) will work better for you, if speed is among your favorite desires. P.S according to that vpnify site boycie posted to start that server you've mentioned (1-gb.cg-dialup.net) is currently runnign @ 38.59Mb/s down and 34.20Mb/s up....maybe i was being too harsh on the site if its going off specific servers like the one you've posted about.
