I'm in New Zealand and indeed can confirm VPN (basically any kind) works just fine over high-latency links. The only real issue is *packet loss*. If you are on a raw Internet link with (say) 1% packet loss, and mostly do non-stateful stuff like web surfing, then your Internet experience is "pleasant". However, if you run a VPN (any kind) over that 1% packet loss link, it "feels like" 10% packet loss within the VPN - and at that point from an end-user perspective is effectively *broken*. People complain, cat and dogs live together in harmony, world ending catastrophe.
Packet loss is the enemy of VPNs - not distance On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 12:33 AM, Eduardo Wirth <ewi...@hexa.com.uy> wrote: > Hello > I live and work in Uruguay. > 300ms RTT Europe is expected as a normal delay. > South America Europe traffic is normally done by Miami > I agree with comments from Selva I have worked with satellite > connections (more than 1000ms) ... always it depends on the type of data > you want to transmit and its features (interactive or not) > But correctmente 300ms can work in most scenarios. > > Eduardo > > Dante F.
