> [@boardjnky4](#): > > yeah, I think that it has to do with the clients. I am running more tests. Ya it seems like it. I have never had a problem with UNS speeds other than when they first offered SSL connections and people just bombarded it. Also, you can use any client and just download stunnel on your computer. You can use that to proxy SSL connections even if your client doesn’t support it. ---
