HOW TO FIX VPN SLOWING YOU DOWN

My VPN was running very slow. I uninstalled the VPN and got full speed back (25mbps). I fiddled around the different server settings in the VPN, UDP changes, different countries, though your local state is the best option as a rule.

Every setting was the same. Super slow. It would be easy to blame the VPN software because that appeared to be the logic. Remove it=fixed. Bring it back online=broken.

But that didn't explain why my laptop on wifi had good performance on the same VPN.

So I put my network engineering cap on and analyzed the network. I had a gigabit network switch. I removed the cat6 cable to plug directly into PC and this resolved the issue.

I guess it was another case of thinking outside the switch.

one of the most common questions from customers is where did all the bugs come from. Allow us to show you an example from a downloaded program called bootracer. It is a legit program which measures startup performance but when it is downloaded from popular free download sites it can be full of rubbish, bugs, unwanted programs. This is common to many free downloads.

The most common threat to system integrity are Potentially unwanted programs (PUP's). These are not necessarily malicious or out to steal banking details, but they take up high amounts of system resources causing system degradation. Removing these PUP's is part of the process to restoring system headaches and slow performance. Once installed without your knowledge your antivirus may not detect any of them.

Here's a great tip for safety and performance on any laptop or PC.

Your ISP gives your router its DNS settings. This is usually not the preferred DNS settings for privacy and speed.

The fastest DNS at this time is Yandex. Access your router/modem and change the DNS to these numbers for the first and second options:

77.88.8.88

77.88.8.2

The difference in speed will be dramatically better than your ISP. This particular DNS servers also offer (free) protection from viruses lurking on the internet.
