Support/VPN and remote work

VPN slow abroad, file transfers take ages

Further from the VPN server means more latency. And some countries throttle encrypted traffic.

Try this first

  1. 1Test without VPN first: speedtest.net. Then compare with VPN on.
  2. 2Pick the nearest server in the client, not always the "home" one.
  3. 3Switch to UDP if available; often faster than TCP over long distances.
  4. 4Work on large files offline and batch-sync them later.

When to bring us in

Travel often to Asia or the Americas? We can set up a regional VPN endpoint closer by.
