Enctrypting all WAN TRAFFIC
-
Of course with a service like that you have to trust the operators of the vpn gateway. They could equally be sniffing all your traffic.

Yea I guess so. Still I find it more comforting than trusting my ISP. The fact thet at&t among other ISPs are in bed with mpaa and riaa just makes me sick. What's next? This at least puts one more barrier between me and them. Its not that I illegally download lots of contentent, its the fact that my privacy is being trampled on. I only have one isp but I have vpn alternatives. Sometimes you just have to trust for a while to see where it takes you.

I tried StrongVPN but was unable to push more than 10Mbit/s. With VyprVPN I can max out my 35/35.

I've heard of VyprVPN. I didn't think Pfsense would work with it. :o Do you have a how-to on it as well?

Great! Thanks. I will post my finding and let everyone know how it went.

So installed pfsense on another machined and followed the first tutorial by ericab and it worked perfectly. So far I noticed a slight difference speed drop but nothing major. I am ok with losing .3 megabits. Thanks guys for your help.

I am on a 6.0 / 0.5 DSL package from at&t. (fastest I can get in my area) average speed straight to throught ISP without the VPN encryption I would be 5.8 to 5.5 megabits testing to boston. My DSL hub is across the street from me ;D With vpn I only drop to 5.2 - 5.1 or so average. The CPU on my pfsense is running rather well. Usenet w/ 20 SSL connections saturating the WAN i get about 5.2 megabits stable with about 30% cpu usage and thats a 350 MHz PII we talking here.

The drop is probably due to the latency of the extra hops to send all traffic through the VPN provider. I lucked out in that sending traffic through Vypr only adds 6-8ms to my pings.

I will build another pfsense box and try the vypr as well. Giagnews and vypr isnt a bad deal at all.
