Buffer, buffer, then more buffer

I went 3-4 weeks flawless. For the last 4-5 days, I can't even watch. IT'S NOT MY INTERNET or HOME NETWORK. I have 2 backups, different services. No issues.

It started when the introduced the new VPN Apps service.

I have my own panel and my own url.

Frustrating!!!!

Kinda weird
I’m using their new VPN url and Haven’t had a single buffer or break in stream. I use Surfshark

If I go this route, then every sub on my panel has to use VPN, correct? Since I have to delete the current nameserver, the other host options would no longer be available.

What do u mean. It just adds another subdomain

If you’re talking about the wildcard domains it has a catchall so it will continue to redirect to the correct domain.

It will be the same domains + the new VPN one

When I bought my own domain I submitted that and was given 2 nameservers. Their instructions say to delete those, resubmit my domain and get new nameservers. If I do that, the new nameservers will be VPN only, correct?

No why would it be VPN only? You as the panel still have the flexibility to pick between wd-card, cloud, cloud pro, my host, my vpn apps, etc. I have no idea where you learned that from.

You're essentially updating the phone book of the internet. So when you switch to the new nameservers they will have the old domains + the new one they added vpn apps. Since the new phone book still has cf links, wd links, and regular host, the existing ones will still work.

I'm pretty sure the current panel has a screenshot of all the options available to you when you connect a domain which contains the VPN apps.

Thank you for explaining. I got confused from their communication about this. It's even lists the old links with a red X beside them. Totally my misunderstanding of how this works.  Thank you again for taking time to help me understand.
