To increase the speed of internet using Termux, you can try the following methods:
1. Use a Faster DNS Server: By default, your device uses the DNS server provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). However, these servers might not always be the fastest. You can use Termux to change your DNS server to a faster one. For example, you can use Google's Public DNS servers by running the following command in Termux:
Code:
$ su
# echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
This will set your DNS server to 8.8.8.8, which is Google's Public DNS server. You can replace it with any other DNS server of your choice. Remember to run the commands as root (using su command) to change the DNS server.
2. Use a VPN: Sometimes, your ISP might throttle certain websites or services, resulting in slower internet speeds. By using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can encrypt your internet traffic and bypass any throttling imposed by your ISP. There are several VPN apps available for Termux, such as OpenVPN or WireGuard.
3. Enable TCP Fast Open: TCP Fast Open is a feature that allows for faster establishment of TCP connections. By enabling TCP Fast Open, you can reduce the latency in establishing connections, resulting in faster internet speeds. To enable TCP Fast Open, run the following command in Termux:
Code:
$ su
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen
Again, remember to run the command as root.
4. Optimize Network Settings: You can try optimizing the network settings on your device to improve internet speed. For example, you can adjust the TCP window size, enable TCP congestion control algorithms like BBR (if supported), or enable IPv6 (if your ISP supports it). However, these optimizations may require advanced knowledge and might not always yield significant improvements.
5. Use a Download Manager: If you frequently download large files, using a download manager can help increase the speed. Download managers use multiple connections to download files, which can result in faster speeds. You can use Termux to install a download manager like Aria2 or Axel.
Note that internet speed is also dependent on factors beyond your control, such as your ISP's infrastructure, network congestion, and the distance to the server you are accessing. The above methods might help optimize your connection, but they cannot guarantee a certain speed increase.
