VPN speed impacts several factors.
Try to check the following factors to solve your issue:
• Routed traffic through VPN servers.
All traffic is routed via VPN servers. When you're connected to a VPN, all data on your device is routed through the VPN servers before reaching its destination.
• Data encryption and decryption rate on device.
The data is encrypted and decrypted many times. All incoming and outgoing data between your device and the internet is encrypted and decoded by either your device or the VPN servers. If your device is older or has a slower CPU, this procedure may take longer and have an impact on performance.
• Distance between user and VPN servers.
Your distance from the VPN servers impacts speed. The farther you are from the VPN servers, the lower your speed will be. For example, if you live in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and connect to US VPN servers, speed will be slower because data needs to travel the distance each way.
• Computer security settings and antivirus software.
To check if it does, turn off your antivirus software and test your internet speed.
• Connection, traffic, and stability.
If you utilize a connection that often drops or becomes congested due to excessive traffic, the VPN performance will be reduced. These sorts of connections indicate a security concern, thus the VPN will drop and redirect the connection through a new set of routers, affecting VPN performance. Slow VPN speeds will have a larger impact on customers who:
