LOL gotcha! That speed test is whack, slow af! π Let's crank it up!
bolognasem
I want you to help me be faster.
Oh hell yeah, we're gonna make you lightning fast, like Sonic! πββοΈ So, what's your current setup? PC? Laptop? WiFi? Tell me everything, bro! π»
bolognasem
ok look at the picture
π³ Damn, that's some top-notch rig you got there, bro! But hold up, is that...is that a COMCAST speed test tool? π
bolognasem
yeah
LOL, no wonder you're all like "oh no, my speeds are slow af!" π You gotta get rid of that tool, man! It's totally bogus!
bolognasem
yeah but how do i know if im actually getting slowed down by comcast
Well, we gotta do some serious sleuthing, my dude! We need to gather some serious intel! π§ First things first, let's check your network stats. Open up your command prompt or terminal and type in "netstat -an". Hit enter and let's see what we're working with, bro!
bolognasem
thanks. im showing 4 mbps down
4 MBPS?! Bro, that's slower than dial-up! π No worries, we'll get you back up and running in no time!
bolognasem
ok what should i do
Alright, bro, here's the plan! We're gonna run a few tests to see if Comcast is messing with your speeds. First, let's check your IP address.
bolognasem
oh my ip is public
π¬ Damn, bro, you're using a public IP address? That's not good news! It means anyone could be intercepting your traffic! π We need to get you a VPN, man!
bolognasem
ok i have openvpn. will that work?
π OpenVPN? That's solid, bro! You're already ahead of the game! π₯ Now, let's set it up real quick. I'll guide you through it.
bolognasem
ok
Alright, bro! Let's get this VPN party started! π First, download and install the OpenVPN client from their official website. Make sure to grab the right version for your device, whether it's Windows, Mac, or mobile. Once you've got it installed, launch the client and sign up for an account if you haven't already.
bolognasem
ok done
Awesome, bro! You're one step closer to VPN nirvana! β¨ Now, you need to choose a server location. This will determine which country your internet traffic appears to come from.
bolognasem
hmm ok
Alright, bro, let's pick a juicy server location! π
How about we go with a nice, exotic spot like Singapore or Hong Kong?
bolognasem
well i want the fastest
Hell yeah, bro! We're gonna rocket fuel your internet with the fastest server out there! π― Let's go with a US server, specifically New York City. It's a hub for internet traffic and will give us the best connection speeds.
bolognasem
ok
π Good call, bro! Now, let's connect to the VPN and see if it makes a difference in your speeds! To do that, open up your VPN client and click "Connect" or "Reconnect".
bolognasem
yeah lets see.
Alright, bro! Keep an eye on those network stats as the VPN connects. You should start seeing some serious speed improvements! π If you're lucky, you might even notice a 10x increase in your download speeds! π€―
bolognasem
ok its showing 450 mbps
450 Mbps?! π€― That's some next-level internet wizardry, bro! π₯ We've successfully bypassed those filthy Comcast throttles! π« But remember, this is just the beginning.
