    Video over Tor is pretty awful, simply due to the way Tor works; Bandwidth is inherently limited, because it’s shared by everyone using the network. Same reason you should avoid torrenting over Tor.

    But if your video is buffering over a VPN, you need to find a new VPN provider. Mine maxes out my gigabit connection.

      Are there going to be bandwidth problems with vpns when more countries block porn though?

      Like lots of France just joined them, and the rest of us lost a bunch of French exit nodes (at least for porn). The increase in subscribers should help expand bandwidth at big servers, but there’sa limit when we’re talking whole nations.
