LetsVPN and data limit?

VPN
1

Hi. I am interested in LetsVPN because a lot of people here in Reddit says it works well in China, especially in this sub. I would be primarily getting LetsVPN because it works well in China.

However, I read some posts about people getting banned by LetsVPN’s AI algorithm. Were they banned because of the huge amount of data they were downloading through LetsVPN? I sometimes download movies and TV shows via Bitorrent using my VPN. Would downloading movies and TV shows via LetsVPN get my account banned by LetsVPN?

I’m very happy with letsVPN and use tons of data. I’m in China (Shenzhen)… I also saw a couple of posts that their algorithm banned some people and they refunded. A good back up is VPN.ac.

Not really I’ve been on let’svpn for about 3 years at present it’s the most stable and reliable VPN.

Was on a few others but at present this would be the best. Don’t worry about downloading torrents, most of the torrent sites actually work better without VPN on…

There’s a VPN thread you should read. I’ve added my -negative- review of Let’s VPN there

Before I knew about this AI issue, I downloaded Shadow of the Tomb Raider through Epic Games and it’s about 40gigs without getting banned. After I found out about this issue, I became more cautious about what I download.

I asked customer service about the people getting banned because AI “detects abnormal operations on device” and asked what constitutes as “abnormal operations”. They gave me several (but not limited to) reasons leading to the last bullet point “Unusual behaviors that result in long-term network resource usage exceeding system thresholds”. I asked about what the thresholds are and if downloading a videogame that is 60+ gigs would warrant a ban, and they responded with “we are not sure too, sorry”

So, I dont know. Because customer service doesnt even know how many gigs are allowed to be downloaded at a time. I pretty much just use LetsVPN to watch YT, check Gmail, Google stuff etc… no heavy downloading.

Thanks. I don’t always turn on my VPN since I am in Hong Kong most of the time. But from time to time, I download movies and TV shows via Bitorrent and I use VPN for it. I would do this in spurts only, maybe one hour, once a week. But it would be a huge data surge suddenly. I hope LetsVPN doesn’t ban me for it, seems like a lot of Redditors have been banned by LetsVPN.

I got LetsVPN yesterday and I downloaded a 3 GB TV show and it was okay. I normally prefer lower resolution TV shows but from time to time, I have downloaded 15 GB TV shows before, even if the resolution is lower. I will keep that in mind about large tv show torrents, based on your question to LetsVPN support.

The AI thing is annoying though, they should throttle you and send you a warning first, rather than banning you. Anyways, thanks for your answer!

Hi! Aside from TikTok, what else is banned in Hong Kong? I’m buying an esim that routes thru Hong Kong and I’m not sure if I should get letsVPN on top of that. Do u know if I can access yahoo or banking sites like TD on Hong Kong network?

TikTok is weird I did it and it worked with let’svpn but there are a few extra steps to work TikTok on vpn in China I honestly can’t remember google it.

TikTok was pretty pointless sorry I can’t remember how I did it but I confirm it can work

Mainly Tik Tok is banned. I checked TD just now and the Canadian site seems to work. Feel free to get a VPN if you’re in Hong Kong if you are worried but for most websites, you probably don’t need it.

It seems like it works for everyone, I have no idea why it’s not working for me

This is a late reply as I haven’t logged in for 2 months, but I wouldn’t have been able to help you anyways. I haven’t used LetsVPN in mainland China yet so I have no idea how to fix your problem (LetsVPN only allows a maximum of 2 devices used at any given time, and my 2 devices are my computer in Hong Kong - I haven’t used my phone as one of the device). I only used LetsVPN in Hong Kong. I hope you were able to resolve your problem.
