VPN slowing things down ...

[vapster]

Hi guys

Thanx for a fantastic 'Popcorn-machine'

I (may) have a problem with the new VPN-feature.

I usually switch on the VPN before watching a movie.
but when I have done that, it seems like downloading/streaing gets VERY slowly - if it starts at all ...

If I then switch off the VPN and click on the same movie - the problem is gone and downloading/streaming starts almost immediately.

Has anyone had the same experience? And what to do about it?

Keep up the fantastic work on Popcorn!!!

Have a great summer

I tried putting the VPN on to test it, and it does run a little bit slower, but not much.
Hows your internet download? Might have something to do with your location aswell.

Same for me, I have problems loading movie when VPN is enabled... And when I turn it off it loads fine... I also have a chromecast issue that it only loads onto my TV about 1 out of 10 times...

Do your VPN shape bandwidth? Usually are bottlenecks.

I am having the same problem. However I'm a newbie to stuff like vpns and torrents and so I don't know how to check my settings to figure out where the problem is. Step by step help would greatly be appreciated (screen shots along the way would get you baked goods in gratitude! )
