I kinda just wanted to make a topic on vpn connections and slow downs. Im seeing alot of people who have over 200+ complain about getting 60-80 instead of their full service. You will never reach full speed with a vpn. It needs bandwidth to keep encrypting your data streams. Alot of people here just want plug and play without really doing anything but unfortunately there is stuff you may need to check. One important issue with your speeds is bandwidth allocation. What this means is if lets say I’m downloading a game while my wife is watching shows with my son that takes up bandwidth which uses up speed. Your isp modem and router both have settings for this, some are automatically applied and some dont apply it well. What happens is the device using the most bandwidth at a time gets all the allocation which slows down other connections.
To combat this you would have to login to your router or modem and make sure it doest have one device which gets all the bandwidth. Typically these will be under network controls or devices. Should be some setting to allow constant connection. This will help. Also removing devices no longer used from a routera memory will help. (Deleting a device once connected) you will see that in devices connected.
Always select the closest, lowest ms server to you which will help. Servers do suffer from peak times and that may effect your connection. Always test your speeds wired/wifi vpn on and off with different settings and protocols to find the right one.
Wifi 5g and 6 you will need to be close to the router/modem i think 6 handles range better. Vpn at the router is a option to which helps. Bandwidth allocation is very important, make sure its not always sending speeds to one unit more than another. I will try to maybe do a guide or video when my pc is up. Every router and isp modem is different. Some newer stuff this isnt really a issue. But its something to add to your testing and setup.
