when not connected, i get 400mbps. connected to mullvad, i only get 150mbps
the server isnt very far from me physically (sub 100miles) and says it can support 1gbps. any way to fix or is this just an inherent flaw with vpns? using wireguard
on windows 11
The mullvad server might have a gigabit connection, but that shared across all their users.
WireGuard will get you the best through put, IPSEC is a close second. OpenVPN has a lot of overhead.

Very standard with any VPN, I’d say 150Mbps is quite good compared to the competition. You’re sending your network traffic through a tunnel to another location, then they’re relaying it to other places. There are several bottlenecks along the way.
I’ve never used a VPN where I didn’t get a big drop in speed. Privacy and security don’t mesh well with speed in most cases.
400 to 150… to the speedtest server?
my bad that wording was fucked
