It is always advisable to choose a VPN server with the least amount of data packet loss and if possible 0 %. Your firewall setting should be done in a way that will allow your VPN to flow unrestrictedly. Although the firewall may not be restricting your VPN, it may be slowing the CPU speed when scrutinizing all network packets. It is also important to use a good internet provider to maintain a stable connection.
When trying to look for a fast server for your VPN, you need to know the country in which the server is located. The distance between your country and the server's country matters a lot. The longer the distance, the slow the connection speed will be. This is due to the time a data packet travels back and forth from your VPN to the server. You can use the ping command to check the speed between your computer and the server. The ping command analyses how long information takes to reach the server. In a Windows operating system, click on run to go to the DOS command box and type the word ping followed by your VPN's IP address and hit the enter button. This will show you how many milliseconds the data takes to reach your VPN server. By doing this, you can choose between several servers available to you and select the one with least connection time. You should also pick the server which is closest to you.
The issue is essentially that there is an old system of distribution that accounted for geographical territories. These are the challenges that music services on the web contend with every day. Fifty year old stipulations about the recording industry have forced licensees of these intellectual properties to limit the offering to select regions. And that's where these VPN service firms are coming into play.
Granted, it's just one way that the fast VPN service is being employed. But let's take a look at what this actually is for a moment. VPN stands for virtual private network, and it basically means that you can log into the network, and then log out through there. What does this do? Well, it can give you another IP address from which to surf the web by. Okay, so now we need to back up a minute, because we've mentioned IPs three times now, and haven't explained what all that is really.
The best and fastest way to really come to terms with what an IP address conceptually is, is to think of a phone number. Basically, it is a phone number, and there's a sort of tree diagram of a hierarchy going on with the kinds of phone numbers that are distributed about the web. Basically, what happens is that internet service providers have their original stack of IP's, and then from there, they sell their own IPs to customers that want to access the internet through them. And based on particular IPs, these music service providers on the web can tell from what country you're accessing their website from. And so, it's readily apparent how a VPN service could easily come into play then.
