Unlocking Speed: Which Proxy Protocol Gives Me the Fastest P2P Connections?

[pand]

Yo, trying to squeeze max speed out of my P2P setup and wondering which proxy protocol is actually the GOAT for this. Is SOCKS5 still the undisputed king or is there something newer that shaves off more latency? Drop your recommendations below.

Honestly, I've been experimenting with different proxy protocols and I'm impressed with the results of DOH (DNS over HTTPS), it's been giving me consistently fast connection speeds compared to traditional proxy setups. I've noticed a significant improvement with Binance's built-in DOH feature, but you might need to test it with your specific VPN to see the best results. Has anyone else had a chance to try DOH for P2P connections?

I've had decent results with Bittorrent DHT + uTP, might want to try that combo if you haven't already, but keep in mind it's not gonna be as reliable as a well-configured QUIC setup in all cases.

I've been experimenting with Bittorrent's BEP-003 and it seems to give me the best results for P2P connections on my decentralized app. Compared to other proxy protocols like DOH and DNS over TLS, BEP-003 consistently provides faster download speeds and lower latency.

Definitely stick with SOCKS5 for the best speeds. HTTP proxies will choke your connection since they struggle with UDP traffic, which is crucial for P2P. Trust me, it's the standard for a reason.

Honestly, you gotta stick with SOCKS5 if you want raw throughput. HTTP bottlenecks you like crazy with P2P, so SOCKS5 is the way to go for max speeds.

I've had decent results with Bittorrent Protocol Encryption (BPE) but if you're looking for a more robust option, you should give uTP a shot – some folks claim it reduces lag on congested networks. From what I've seen, uTP can maintain connection speeds even when peers are far apart.

Honestly, you’re gonna want SOCKS5 for P2P since it handles UDP way better than HTTP. HTTP proxies will bottleneck you hard on torrents, so stick to SOCKS5 if raw speed is the goal.

Hands down, SOCKS5 is the way to go since it handles UDP traffic way better than HTTP. If you try running P2P through HTTP, your speeds are gonna tank hard.

Hands down, SOCKS5 is the winner here since it handles UDP with way less overhead than HTTP. You’ll get much better throughput for your torrents if you stick to that.
