Corporate VPN Latency

[Dark_Nate]

@Kick933 for any kind of user, logging and traffic snooping is bad news. Why would you encourage users to use such VPNs?

They are better off leasing AWS Mumbai and set up their own, cheaper, faster, dedicated, 100% control VPS/VPN.

I really promote having things under control.
But that cannot be accomplished by most people.
Sorry,if I offended you.Mist of the people do not even know that why their corporates use VPN.So,I did not expect any proficiency and tried to generalise.

@Kick933 recommend privacy-friendly VPNs to normal users bro

Here's what I use to share with normal users: Which VPN Providers Really Take Anonymity Seriously in 2020? * TorrentFreak

lol setting up double vpn and that too using router will be more messy for most people.

The issue is with BSNL.
Most of the corporates use VPN to help protect sensitive information.Since the default routes are changed and more and more corporates are using VPN from a provider,if the BSNL is not peered with the Network used by VPN servers,speed get a great hit.
I have seen lots of complain in my area.
Nothing can be done.Try avoiding VPN if it is not a requirement to work.
Or try dual VPN,Latency will take a hit,but if you do a bit a research,I would suggest Hotspot shield since it is based on AWS which is peered with BSNL and have peering with almost every network.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for your reply man. Btw in my case, i aint using corporate vpn or anything like that. I have hosted my own vpn server with aws mumbai and i have tried various protocols- OpenVPN, sstp, wireguard, softether, ikev2.. All work perfectly fine most of the time and my ping usually remains under 100ms while gaming and speed ~50mbps, but sometimes(during daytime) the ping fluctuates and reaches upto 400-600ms and doesn't come down, also speed without vpn remains ~50mbps but with vpn comes really down~5-10mbps. it spontaneously get resolved and sometimes a restart helps. What could be the reason, i am really confused.

@rohitsingh1333 Yesterday I had a conference call with the CGM of Northeast Circle and NOC networking manager (or something like that).

It seems that BSNL is aware of BGP instability and poor routing performance, he agreed to all my points.

But for whatever reason, he simply wouldn't say "I will have this fix within so and so"... He kept on implying that it's normal and acceptable.

Which ISP is your office on? @venkatachar .

If you want a smooth connection, I would suggest getting a VPN that has good routing rather than good privacy as your office VPN will also have encryption anyways, the best your VPN provider will be able to see is the your IP and your office IP Address.

You can run the first VPN (Express,Nord,PIA etc) on a host and run a virtual machine with corporate VPN. VM's can be setup fairly easily with VirtualBox.

@JB700 Thanks for your inputs, this is quite an old thread. I had this issues only for few days. Our corporate VPN has capability to support thousands of concurrent connections. So I don't have to worry about ISP on which our office VPN is on. And I connect directly to my corporate VPN. I latency is also decent when I am on corporate VPN.

My corporate VPN has many users, for others users its fine. I am seeing this latency issue with my FTTH connection from mid July. Before that everything was fine. Also we have VPN servers at different locations, but the problem exists with all access locations.
Earlier I used to be connected to the VPN for more that 16 hrs . It never dropped and latency was decent.

What would if you connect to vpn using another provider? Let's say, using your mobile hotspot?
