Hey!
I saw that one of BTGuards features is "Bypass throttling"... How would a VPN help bypass throttling? im not very sure how a VPN works but I would have thought your connections data usage would stay the same wether or not your using it.... Anyways, whats up with that?
if your isl throttles your connection for whatever reason on certain servers, then it works.
for some reasons, some isp-s have deals with some other service providers, like netflix and hulu. let's say your isp got a deal w/ netflix.
everything streams fine and fast at 10mb/s. but as netflix wants more customers, the ddeal has another part where when you watch hulu, the speeds are only 2mb/s. it lags and you!d rather be a client of netflix.
You can bypass throttling through a VPN tunnel because the traffic in the tunnel is encrypted and unreadable by anyone but the parties the traffic is going to and from. It's still going to use the same amount of bandwidth, and probably a bit more for the VPN overhead.
ISPs throttle connections by having software running on their network that does Heuristic packet sniffing. If it detects a specific type of packet (ie. a Bit Torrent packet) it starts using traffic shaping to either slow your entire internet connection down, or only certain types of packets. Slowing your entire connection down is less resource intensive for the ISP and is the usual method.
When you have a VPN tunnel, all traffic that's sent/received through it is encrypted and looks like something completely different to the ISPs packet sniffing software, and it ignores it.

no, i just read this story from america or something.
they don't do jack here.
I believe it's not allowed in entire Europe. USA do this shit for marketing stunts anyways, just like the locked phones.
Yeah... WHats the legality of something like a VPN btguard?
VPNs are not illegal in any of the civilized countries.
Btguard is really awesome i really like this service because it is very fast to bypass censorship Btguard main purpose is Freedom of torrent :) i got The Detail info about Btguard Here bestvpnservice.com
I'm seriously considering getting a VPN, not because Japanese ISP (they don't), but because as an American living here it's impossible to really access alot of android apps, internet radio providers or Online TV shows (Hulu, etc) as they are all region locked and not available here, which is bullshit.
