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

Have you tried switching protocol (if you’re using UDP, try TCP, and vice versa), changing the port (if the VPN server supports multiple alternate ports), trying different countries, or using different VPN types (if you’re using Wireguard, try OpenVPN, and vice versa)?
Especially if you’re trying to use OpenVPN on a home Wi-Fi router. Those are really underpowered, and OpenVPN is fairly inefficient. Wireguard on the other hand…
I’ve tried everything but different countries. I’ll get back to you on that.
Edit: Nope. Everything I change seems to make no difference in speed. Not slower, not faster.
Check your VPN provider and see if they offer alternate VPN types besides OpenVPN and Wireguard. If you’re lucky, your ISP might not throttle it yet. For example, ProtonVPN has a “stealth” protocol and Mullvad has ShadowSock
