Streaming settings for no buffer experience

Here is a great tip for all you people experiencing buffering.
Set your android (network settings) to UDP from TCP, also set your VPN (network settings) to UDP from TCP.
Some android boxes have no UDP settings but as long as you set your VPN it will set data to UDP, best to set both if you can but not real important.
UDP has no data handshakes and is much faster than TCP and designed for video data.(streaming)
Your buffering issues should be gone after setting both. Don't forget to reboot your android device after setting..
Won't work on wireless (tcp based) so break out an ethernet cable (UDP based)
While setting up your VPN setting you might as well set (custom DNS) in your VPN setting to 1.1.1.1 for first and 1.0.0.1 for the second, this will bypass TCP bandwidth limits and sloppy DNS servers.
Don't play with your router settings, tcp is wonderful for most activities on the web, UDP is not.
Creator of this tip. (25 mb service for me on UDP is 54 mb.)
 
Won't turn a lemon service into an orange but might make it into a lime :)
On a decent service it will make dramatic differences.
