Mullvad halves my internet speeds — is there a fix? (beehaw.org)

Typically, my ISP provides ~500mbps down, but Mullvad seems to struggle to get above 220mbps. Is this typical?

I want to route all network traffic through it on the router, but don't want to miss out on the download speeds I'm paying for.

Yes speed decreases are typical. Pick what's more important to you the speed or using the vpn.

Or use split VPN to have things you want to use full speed go through your raw isp.. like steam downloads.
