  Isn’t TOR a bit too slow to watch videos in YouTube?

    Idk, for me it works well, i have almost the same latency and speed as if i wasn’t ysing it, maybe because their nodes are near me? Dunno, but i live in europe and there are a lot of people and nearby countries so it may be

      I’m in Europe too and my experience with TOR is not quite the same.

      Then again I’m in one the more peripheric bits of Europe and not surrounded by countries were people run TOR noded, so it’s probably more bottlenecked.

      That said, surfing behind a VPN (which I pay for) plus provides me the level of privacy which I need at the moment.

        I am near France, Austria, Swiss and not too distant from germany too, so i suppose i have a couple of nodes nearby
