**I would like to know if I can use a VPN for bitcomet and what settings I should use to allow its use from China. **
Lucy I see you are in china also. Do you recommend a VPN service to use as all of the ones I found have no username to input just an IP address. I still cannt download anything.
One option a lot of users are doing is renting a server (seedbox) that you can run torrents from, then you can ftp the files to your home computer freely. There are companies that offer “shared” seedboxes that aren’t very expensive, but if you want to do a lot of torrenting and get good speeds, getting a dedicated server would be the best option.
Using a proxy or vpn connection is simply “renting” the use of a server outside your area, and you’ll probably find the cheap or free services give you horrible performance, but if you operate the seedbox, it’s fully under your control, and many are available at speeds as high as a gigabit, or 1,000,000kb/s (125,000kB/s).
