I’m a trial subscriber to the top 3 premium VPNS and my computer is connected to the router via ethernet getting 900MB w/VPN off. I reside in New York City and get sub 20mb speed on ethernet AND wifi. This issue happens with ALL VPNs. Paid and free browser extensions, desktop, etc.
tests done on :
Hong Kong 20mb
Frankfurt Germany 25mb
USA New York City 300MB
USA Virginia 300MB
USA Denver 20MB
Canada 200mb
Spain 20mb
This is not an issue with my provider or router.
I’ve tried VPNs on other computers & macbooks on wifi and ethernet. No issues connecting to Hong Kong and other countries I get 500+ MB speed. So I believe this has to do with my PC alone not sure if its hardware or some setting.
Troubleshooting:
- I tried connecting my computer to WiFi and ran the test, same results.
- Tried multiple VPNs, tried multiple browsers
- Network reset in the settings page.
- disabled ipv6 (VPN support told me to turn it off)
- IKEv2 manual connection
- Changing Bandwidth limit(%): to 0%. in gpedit.msc
Currently have a case with a VPN company, (reddit wont let me name) going on for 9 days, they respond with something new everyday nothing has worked yet. I need to connect to Europe/Asia for my preferred blacklisted content.
