I recently discovered this firefox\chrome extension that make streaming videos soo much faster. It also has built in subtitle support that lets you upload subtitles or search through opensubtitles. It's incredible how much faster videos load https://github.com/Andrews54757/FastStream

Nope. Everything has been replaced by Kape's infrastructure, from what I've heard. I worked there 2016-2019, so 5 years ago already.

They did do an alright job with the app though vs what we had to deal with back then. I ran those kinds of speed tests between regions over OpenVPN in part to disprove speed complaints which, Windows + OpenVPN + TCP on Windows 7, yeah the speeds weren't amazing but nothing I could do about that.

It was kind of funny in retrospect though, everyone online was like PIA is faster, no AirVPN is faster, no ExpressVPN and flame wars of which one had the worst speeds. I measured it, it was all the fucking speed/latency curve on the client's side ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hahahaha classic. I'm on wireguard so I think it's all UDP now? I imagine the same tuning as OpenVPN UDP?
