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

    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.

    The mullvad server might have a gigabit connection, but that shared across all their users.
