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

    That’s normal with VPNs. You are sharing bandwidth with other users when you use it, so you lose speed.

      In my experience Mullvad is a blazing fast VPN, to me this seems like something else. I never had less than 500mbit speeds using it.

        I experience closer to 100mb/s generally. Though this is plenty for me. I’m really just glad my ping stays below 30ms.
