My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?

    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.

        Looks like they are using OpenVPN and Wireguard, both static protocols that can be easily detected from your ISP.

        Try a provider that offers a proprietary protocol - Astrill and ExpressVPN have their own, for example - or use a shadowsocks service instead.

        And try playing around with different servers as well, I get great speeds going through Switzerland and Sweden with my VPN.

            Nobody knows, externally. That’s the thing about proprietary stuff.

            Personally I think they are using a modified open standard and just add an obfuscating layer to the client-server-handshake, but that’s speculation on my end.
