VPN Speed Increase

In one of the recent Tek episodes (either TekLInux or regular Tek) there was a mention of setting some kind of port on VPN which allowed for faster download speeds.

Does anyone know what was he talking about?

There was some throttling going on probably and the vpn mitigated that. Really there are a lot of reasons why he could have gotten that speed bump. Personally, I don't get one but you might. Really it is more likely your speed goes down but there are rare occasions where the opposite happens.

It was something about VPN speed increase, not internet speed increase in general. Something to do with 9xxx port.
