Hi
I just came looking for advice on why VPN is slowing down my connection and see that I am not alone. I have contacted support who tell me that a fix is on the way, however it seems people have been waiting a long time for it in this forum. Let me ask this question and maybe someone can shed some light on it.
VPN worked fine on broadband I have just updated to fiber and am experiencing the same issue we all share. However this is what I tried this morning. Here is a copy of the email I just sent to support.

I think you might be looking in the wrong place for a fix for this issue.
1 I raised a post in my ISP community and one of the mods got back to me after doing a speed test with his results using BitDefender VPN. His results were as expected. 75mbs with VPN and 77 without. This got me thinking
I am on a win 10 computer I wondered if he was using a MAC?
2 I have an ipad which connects using WiFi so I was not expecting anything great in terms of speed however:
a) Using the automatic connection I get 61mbs
b ) Using Hydra I get 65mbs
c ) Using IP sec I get 71 mbs
d ) Using Wireguard I get 71mbs
And that’s over WIFI. This is what I would expect from my win 10 machine but am not getting. My VPN on windows is different to that on the MAC in terms of settings and leads me to the conclusion this could be the problem.
Any thoughts on this?
