Getting fast internet speeds on vpn? (alien.top)

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.

Yeah, speeds are especially slow if you’re connecting to a vpn far away due to latency and physical distance
