My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?
Edit: Sorry, I didn’t leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I’ve tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:
SOLVED!! OK, I’m an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn’t be helped!

No matter which VPN provider I’ve used, they’ve all had periods where things were just slow. Eventually came good as the speeds were reported and their either upped their infrastructure or fixed the problem.
I’ve had plenty of occasions where the VPN connection slowed down over time, disconnecting and establishing a new connection put it back to the maximum speed too.
I haven’t been with PIA for years, but it was one of many that I experienced both of these issues. I abandoned PIA when it got bought out by a company that made its money and start via spyware, adware, tracking people & selling PII and any other information they could slurp up. The antithesis of what a VPN company is supposedly all about.
Which ISP, which VPN, which protocol, which server?
You’re not really giving us a whole lot to work with.
Sorry, yeah not much to go on. I have Private Internet Access, I’ve tried both protocols and the available ports. Nothing made a difference.
No VPN = faster
VPN = slower
Do you have more info you can share or expand on problems you are experiencing?
VPNs are known for slowing down your internet.
