Why is my internet speed slower when using a VPN?

< 1 min read

Here are some steps to consider when troubleshooting a slow internet speed:


  1. Check your internet connection’s download and upload speeds through a service like speedtest.net.
  2. Comparing your current speeds with the internet connection speeds from your provider.
  3. If your internet speeds are lower than expected, consider the following:
    • Make sure all cables are securely connected to your modem and/or router.
    • Restart your modem and/or router-this will help resolve any technical issues with your router.
    • Check for any other devices using the same internet connection to ensure speed is not being reduced for them.
    • Run a malware scan to check for any malicious software that could be slowing your connection.
    • Make sure you are within a strong signal range of the router.
  4. If none of these steps improve your connection speeds, contact your internet service provider.
