Speedtest - What is wrong, page-14

I have Fiber to the home (lucky Armidale NSW resident)
My plan with iiNet is 100 Mbps down and 40Mbps up.

Speed test on my Smartphone (using my wireless internet at home)
Wangle VPN turned on: Download: 22.0 Mbps // Upload: 13 Mbps
Wangle VPN turned off: Download: 36 Mbps // Upload: 35 Mbps

For comparison with my PC using Express VPN
Express VPN turned on: Download: 55 Mbps // Upload: 28 Mbps
Express VPN turned off: Download: 43.2 Mbps // Upload: 33 Mbps

Summary: A VPN has all kinds of weird effects on the *apparent* speed of your connection.

The point of the VPN is to protect your data/digital privacy.
