Hey all,
Wondering how do you see a large dropoff in internet speeds when you’re using your v.p.n? I’m in an apartment with 100 mb down and 250 mb up and gigabyte fiber with 1GB down and up back in the place I run a vpn (residential address with pivpn), and I only get 12 MB down and 1.5 MB up which is a degradation of 90% and 99+% on download and upload.
Wondering have other people ran into such an issue or resolved such things? I’d love to hear from you or read more sources.
Of course it’s slower. You know how a VPN works, right? It involves another server, often in another country by choice, added to the stack that your data must go through before it gets to you
Yes I’m aware. However there have been claims that the speed should not drop much on this subreddit. I haven’t found that to be true from my experience. It’s still usable but much slower
