I have a 2.5gig symmetrical incoming connection. I’ve tried a few different VPNs, but none of them even come close to reaching anywhere near that speed, I’m not hoping for a miracle here but the fastest I’ve ever had while using a VPN is like 300 mb/s.
Any suggestions welcome please and thank you;)
Well I’m using Nordvpn, it’s very fast, reliable and easy to use, this reddit post has a verified deal.
Another way to try and saturate a wide pipe like that would be to utilize multiple VPN connections at a time and aggregate those multiple connections. There was a project called “qbitmf” that used docker compose to load up a custom qbittorrent container that you just point to the folder with the wireguard config files and it would connect and utilize all connections for multi-gig speeds on most wireguard capable VPN providers. It also worked with port forwarding on AirVPN. Currently I don’t think it works and there isn’t anyone that’s been able to update it.
I’ve been able to use haproxy to achieve this, but that doesn’t offer the aggregate bandwidth on the upload side, and doesn’t allow for port forwarding. If you have a linux server and want the haproxy.cfg file and the docker compose for that let me know, I guess.
No idea if it’s the absolute fastest but with ProtonVPN I get about 850 mbps up and down on a gigabit connection.
on gigabit connection, mullvad is fastest
Mullvad, check for their servers on their website and use the nearest
ProtonVPN. I get above 900mbps AND they have port forwarding. Mullvad is fast, but no port forwarding.
Try Private VPN it does port forwarding. Wireguard also supported.
Here’s my referral link if interested or just sign up as normal.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Thank you, I’ve tried that one just. It’s by far the best so far but still only getting 300 ISH 
Another vote for Mullvad. I have 2 gig symmetrical fiber, and I get every bit of it using the newest Chicago servers, which are closest to me. Torrents download very quickly despite the lack of port forwarding.
Are you using wifi? That won’t ever be as fast as ethernet
Yeah, but without VPN I’m getting 1000+ meg, with VPN max I can get is 300. From the same position in the house…
Well, your connection speed is a lot less than 2.5 gbp. Wi-Fi is much slower than Ethernet. Also, VPNs have a lot of overhead. That overhead is probably amplified on wifi.
You can easily reach 2+ GBit over 6ghz wifi 7. I just did a speedtest and got 2.3 GBit on my phone.
This isn’t 2010. Wifi isn’t slow anymore.
So, you think everyone is on WiFi 7? Apparently, the op isn’t using WiFi 7. Most WiFi users don’t have WiFi 7 yet.
I’ve got WiFi 7 and get over 1000meg on WiFi everywhere in the house, when I’m stood next to the AP, it’s faster. I’ve also plugged my phone into the switch via an ethernet USB adapter and it’s still the same speeds, only I get faster than WiFi when VPN isn’t enabled…
And you just assumed ops wifi is bad for some reason. Just like not everyone is on wifi 7 you also can’t assume that everyone has bad wifi.
You also said that wifi will never be as fast as ethernet. That is simply not true.
The speeds are a bit slower, but not by much…

I surmised that the op based upon their had wifi, and he/she didn’t dispute it.

Ethernet can reach speeds up to 40 gbp. The fastest wifi isn’t even close.
EDIT: Ethernet can actually reach speeds up to 400 gbp
