slow speed with vpn enabled on 6700v3

With ExpressVPN enabled on the router I get 34 Mbps.

If I disable the  VPN  the speed goes up tp 93 Mbps !!!

Wow!  Anyone have any ideas as to what has the issue,

is it the router or the ExpressVPN software ???

 

Thanks!

  • VPN usually requires hardware acceleration. Your router model doesn't suppport that

    as well as expressvpn is 3rd party firmware. You'd have to check with them with issues.
