Bummer. For whatever reason I always get much better speeds on openvpn servers.

That's not something you hear very often.

That’s very strange. WireGuard was specifically created in part because of speed limitations.

Sounds like an issue with your network or routes. By design, WG is faster.

I'm sure it is, Im just not sure where to start and I get pretty decent speeds on open vpn. I guess now I'm going to have to try to figure it out

Try lowering MTU, just don't lower it too much.

[–] Sibyls@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You got this!

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Still just wish mullvad would stop subtracting. First port forwarding and now this. 😕

Only the opposite has ever happened for me.

Oh I know it's odd. I think it must be something with my router or windows configuration, but it's very noticeably different between the two.
