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.

    Open VPN has a knack for taking out a big part of the throughput. My 1gb gets knocked down to somewhere in the 300 space. Wireguard has more performance but more of a trick to set up, and if the ISP is feeling obnoxious is a lot easier to isolate and block than OVPN.
