1. The two speeds on your ISP plan
In Bangladesh, almost every ISP package is sold as a pair of numbers. The first is your BDIX speed — the bandwidth available inside the Bangladesh Internet Exchange. That's what carries traffic to local FTPs, BDIX caches, and other peered networks inside the country. It's usually generous; 100, 200, sometimes 1000 Mbps.
The second number is your raw speed, also called international speed. That's what your ISP gives you to reach servers outside the country — Steam, Epic, GitHub, game servers, app store downloads, every regular international website. It's almost always much smaller: 10, 20, maybe 50 Mbps on the same package that advertised 100 on BDIX.
So when you download a movie from a local FTP, your line feels blazing. When you pull a Steam game or clone a large GitHub repo? The line feels ordinary. That gap is the whole reason XRORX exists.
2. Where XRORX sits
XRORX runs SOCKS5 proxy servers hosted on the BDIX peering network. From your computer's point of view, our proxies look like another BDIX destination — they're reachable at your full BDIX speed, not your raw speed.
When you configure an application to use a XRORX proxy, that application's traffic does two hops: first across BDIX to one of our nodes (fast), then out to the open internet through our own upstream connectivity. The slow raw-side bottleneck is no longer in the path.
The practical result: Steam pulls at near-BDIX speed. Your browser loads international sites at near-BDIX speed. Anywhere you'd otherwise have been stuck on the raw number, you're now riding on the BDIX speed.
3. Why the tier has to match your BDIX speed
XRORX doesn't create bandwidth — it lets you use the BDIX bandwidth you already pay for. If your ISP only gives you 50 Mbps on the BDIX side, that's the ceiling on a XRORX-routed connection too, no matter which tier you buy.
So the rule is simple: check your BDIX speed on speedtest.net and your raw speed on Linode Singapore, then pick a XRORX tier equal to or smaller than your BDIX result.
4. What XRORX does not do
- It doesn't replace your ISP. You still pay them for both speeds.
- It doesn't reroute traffic you haven't explicitly proxied — your BDIX FTP and BDIX caches keep working exactly the way they do today.
- It isn't a privacy VPN. SOCKS5 isn't encrypted; your TLS does the privacy work, same as it always did.
- It doesn't unblock specific streaming catalogues — that's a different product category.
5. Practical setup
You install nothing global. Pick a client that supports SOCKS5: SwitchyOmega for browsers, Proxifier or V2RayN for Windows-wide routing, NekoBox or v2rayNG for Android, Shadowrocket for iOS, OpenWrt or MikroTik for the whole house. Paste the four fields we generate from your dashboard (host, port, username, password). The application starts routing the moment you save the profile.
You can scope it down per-app, per-browser-profile, even per-URL. That granularity is the reason we picked SOCKS5 instead of building a VPN client that owns your whole network stack.
