I've been a user of Mullvad for a while and love there stance on privacy. I really like how they have stayed focused. But recently I feel like there speeds have gotten way worse.

For example I may be able to get 150ish up and down without a VPN but once I add Mullvad it gets way slower. Still very useable for most tasks but limiting when I have bigger downloads. This is across several different networks to eliminate it just being an individual network problem.

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Anything you put between your device and the target will slow down the throughput. I'm using AES-256, through a double hop Shadowsocks proxy, through a heavily filtered pFsense standalone/unbound. I get 500 Mbps down at 20 Mbps up. I have business class internet tho, @ 1 Gb. That might be a reason. I generally tend to choose slots that are reasonably within my locale.

I don't complain too much about speed or the captchas. I'd rather that than the alternative.
