I wanted to know if there is an influence of eblocker regarding the speed of my I-Net connection.
See the results for my 50 Mbps contract are nearly exact the same ! !
1. eBlocker on
2. eBlocker off
That's are good news and I'm happy w my eBlocker ! !
Surprisingly low eblocker w TOR activated. Upload faster than download !
Will do more TOR test later to see if better results are possible.
Glad you like your eBlocker so much 🙂
The TOR network is often very slow, that's why the eBlocker shows a hint when you activate TOR.
You can try to renew your ID from TOR to get better results. But this is no guarantee
Well I treid the speedtest without VPN (tor) and with it. The speed is really terrible. I am using a Raspberry4 with 4GB and an SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB. Now lokk at the results.
with VPN (TOR)
without VPN
Any ideas?
This was my Test today with pihole5 without TOR.
@foresthus You might have overseen the hint above in this thread:
The TOR network is often very slow, that's why the eBlocker shows a hint when you activate TOR.
Here is the original eBlocker message in case you've missed it:
(BTW: The message can be re-enabled with Settings>Devices>"Select your device", hit tab "Notifications" and check "Show Tor confirmation")
To keep it short: Tor is run by volunteers providing their network bandwidth to the public. This usually results in volatile speeds - sometimes being slow. But you get the best IP anonymization available worldwide in return - and for free.😎 To disable Tor please check here: https://eblocker.org/docs/very-slow-network-connection/
If you need higher bandwidth while anonymizing your IP, you might want to consider a commercial VPN provider - and add this VPN to eBlocker to get full control and comfort. BUT choose a VPN provider of trust as the provider sees all your traffic...
Nevertheless, the speed of Tor has nothing to do with eBlocker. eBlocker is just giving access to the Tor network. To learn more about Tor, please check out https://www.torproject.org/
Comparing a simple DNS blocker like Pihole with advanced technology like eBlocker while Tor is enabled is comparing apples and pears. A comparable question would be: Why does it need so much time if I pour hot water in a coffee filter to make coffee? If I just pour hot water straight into the cup, it's much faster. Right - but you don't get coffee.😉 With Pihole you don't get IP-anonymization (neither with Tor nor VPN btw).
Last: If your screenshots show the bandwidth while eBlocker is enabled (blocking ads & trackers on HTTPS) these are very impressive results. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.👍
THX!
