Initial hardware cost of Starlink is freaking balls though.

Still need to fab a pole and install it which I suppose would run me another couple hundo.

Even if Digismell come and giving me a huge discount I’m kinda married to this system for a couple years until I get my perceived value

That’s rare now, but we have tools to do covert ops when needed.

Vpn works?

you know a vpn doesnt hide you from your ISP right?

It should.

And regular consumer grade VPNs will mask traffic by design. ISP will only see connections to the VPN servers not the traffic since it’s encrypted.

Private mode is not the same as a vpn tunnel in case some people confuse both.

If you’re really paranoid about covering your tracks, boot from a live distribution that only exists in memory not hdd. TAILS still around.

also try to use private trackers if you gonna use torrents if you want to have a somewhat simple set up going.

Everything shipped separately.

The kit came, but I needed the pole mount and a 45m cable which eh reach yet. The blasted pole mount eh even ship yet.

Glad I got the kit in a matter of 5-6 days but gosh bai

Does starlink have loss in bandwidth during rainfall? Does it lose connectivity at all during adverse weather conditions?

VexXx Dogg · Postby **VexXx Dogg** » July 1st, 2025, 3:56 pm

Other local users say no.
I’ll report back once I get my setup going.

From what I see bandwidth not so much but increased packet loss and lag with gaming

Got the setup going.
Averaging 250-400+ mbps DL; 15-50 mbps UL and 20-75ms ping.

Built in WiFi is weak for my location but i anticipated that so I have a tplink mesh to service the house.

Here’s two latency tests to NY. Starlink and Flow
Both done from iPhone over WiFi about 8ft away from router.

Starlink

Flow 200M package

^ That is very impressive it's actually better than the average Cable or Fiber connection but I know this is also sunny weather.

Whenever there is heavy rain can you do this same test? so far I have not been successful to catch any star link user to post that same test in bad weather.

VexXx Dogg · Postby **VexXx Dogg** » July 14th, 2025, 10:28 pm

Didn’t do testmy latency during bad weather over the past couple weeks but I did the starlink supplied Speedtest and it showed negligible difference in DL/UL
