I meant to say, "I don't blame you", not "believe you". Sorry.

I'm a programmer and I understand where you're coming from. I just did as you requested and was very methodical about it. Here's what I did. 1. Using the 2.2beta2 version, I uploaded using a VPN address and then again with a public address outside the VPN. VPN Upload Speed: ~450KB/sec. Non-VPN Upload Speed: ~550KB/sec 2. I uninstalled 2.2beta version and installed 2.1.7. I used the same profile (it's nice it remembers all that between uninstalls and installs BTW). Same urls and same files to upload. VPN Upload Speed: ~12KB/sec. Non-VPN Upload Speed: ~550KB/sec. The higher rates vary a lot +/- 50KB/sec., but the slow VPN rate is just pretty slow. I had tried 2.1.6 the other day with the same result. I hadn't gone back any further since the 2.2 fixed the problem. Also both of my Windows 7 64 bit machines seem to have this problem. Maybe it's router related? I have a Belkin N600HD router.

I'm glad it's working faster now, but I'm not sure why. I don't recall anyone complaining about performance of 2.1.x on Win7-64bit on the list before now. Are you interested in downgrading to 2.1.x on one of those machines to see if the performance problem re-occurs? _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
