Difficulty Using www.vpnbook.com for Torrents

[Jellyfish]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the www.vpnbook.com service in conjunction with qBittorrent.  I tried PPTP using euro195.vpnbook.com and euro213.vpnbook.com on Windows XP.  However, no download/upload activity will take place whilst connected to the VPN.  (If I disconnect from the VPN then downloading/uploading resumes.)

Does anything else need to be done to use the VPN?  It works okay for HTTP web surfing, but seems to stall for P2P.

Anyone managed to get VPNBook working for P2P?

Thanks.

Is it supposed to work for P2P?
A lot of times free means limited services and if it's anything like free proxy servers they do not allow you to use the proxy for file sharing or P2P of any kind.

If you use a VPN, you will be passive.
You should still get some amount of traffic, but nothing THAT much what you had.

If you want to be safe AND active, pay for a seedbox. Safest / fastest solution. (Use SSH/SFTP to retrieve your stuff.)

As far as I am aware, the free VPNBook service should work for P2P (but only on the Euro servers).

I've tried the VPN for web browsing and it has worked very well.

I was just looking for a VPN to experiment with for casual use.

I found http://freevpn.me appears to work pretty good for me with P2P.  Looks very similar to VPNBook (perhaps run by same people?).
