Thank kano and BitMaxz!

I'm currently mining via VPN, so I did some pinging tests:

The ping times seem to be reasonably good for some pools, but slow for others:

Code:

--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2003ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 76.905/81.004/85.238/3.403 ms

I can ping Antpool:

Code:

~$ ping -c3 www.antpool.com
PING www.antpool.com.cdn.cloudflare.net (104.18.4.189) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 104.18.4.189 (104.18.4.189): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=78.3 ms
64 bytes from 104.18.4.189 (104.18.4.189): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=69.7 ms
64 bytes from 104.18.4.189 (104.18.4.189): icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=69.8 ms

--- www.antpool.com.cdn.cloudflare.net ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 69.658/72.574/78.263/4.022 ms

I can ping F2Pool:

Code:

$ ping -c3 www.f2pool.com
PING www.f2pool.com.cdn.cloudflare.net (104.18.41.93) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 104.18.41.93 (104.18.41.93): icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=64.3 ms
64 bytes from 104.18.41.93 (104.18.41.93): icmp_seq=2 ttl=59 time=73.1 ms
64 bytes from 104.18.41.93 (104.18.41.93): icmp_seq=3 ttl=59 time=50.7 ms

--- www.f2pool.com.cdn.cloudflare.net ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 50.660/62.681/73.096/9.229 ms

But Braiins seems to be slow for some reason:

Code:

--- sg.stratum.braiins.com ping statistics ---
20 packets transmitted, 19 received, 5% packet loss, time 19030ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 179.710/254.925/395.309/57.380 ms

Any idea why Braiins is so much slower than others?

Block halving is coming.

You can do that there are some routers that can able to set up a VPN or are compatible with OpenVPN or you can make a server with PFsense that includes OpenVPN this one only need extra PC with memory and HDD.

But take note of what kano said above, however, you can do some tests just make sure that the IP of the VPN you are trying to connect must be near your country to get a lesser ping and most of the pools have 3 different ports and pool server US, EU and ASIA you can test them one by one until you found a pool server with better ping. Most recommended latency is below 150ms if above on that you will get a high pool rejection rate.

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4

Be aware that using TOR is a REALLY bad idea coz it means your connection to the pool is delayed.
That delay means stale work and stale (lost) blocks.
This is also usually true of using a VPN.

I'm looking at getting a miner, but I want to connect it via a VPN.

Or rather, I want it to stay unknown that I am mining, so I suppose I should not post this! ROTFLMAO

How does one connect miners which are supposed to be connected via an ethernet cable to internet router but through a VPN (and/or TOR)?

Get a new router that is programmed to only connect via a VPN and use that for mining?

Or use a SBC or other computer (connected to VPN) and plug the ethernet into that?
