      That’s not something you hear very often.

      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.

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

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

      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.
