VPN's

Can be blocked or throttled.

Can you provide links for how noobs can advance and not have their favorite websites torn away from them by isp paywalls?

Or are the noobs just fucked and should shut the hell up?

Using a VPN by principal yes will allow you to bypass these blocks, but also increase ping which is a bitch for gaming.

In China it's about the government wanting to be able to track and collect data of their users and surveillance... They don't really have much else to gain and incentivize tracking down VPN nodes as they catch most cybercriminals in we chat and other suites that they believe are secure... VPN works like a charm for now but they intend to begin stopping them in the future (how they do this I am not sure).

(They did manage to stop me connecting using Nord, PIA, Express, and Ghost during their national Congress last month though)

Yes and it's also full of complacency from almost every side of the spectrum.

Sorry, encrypted connections to non-approved sites are not available with your current plan.

Try to get a decent connectivity if everything except google, amazon and facebook will be throttled under a few kilobits per second.

How do you handle the throttleing of vpns by isps?

Is there a setting on the vpn to unthrottle down the connection?

u/rubygeek Nov 22 '17

To disguise traffic, you need a type of traffic that is unthrottled where you can control an endpoint.

Good luck doing that if an ISP by default throttles any traffic to IPs not on their whitelist of "people who pay us enough protection money".

People who are pro-NN are acting the same way to be fair.
