Proton VPN on Linux very slow

Proton @lemmy.worldEnglish · 5 months ago

I am using the offical Linux Client (4.3.2) on Fedora but the connections are very slow. I played around with the few settings the client offers but it’s not getting better. Sometimes the speedtest seems okay with UDP, but when I download large files the speed stays around a few hundred kilobytes per second. Without VPN the same downloads are much, much faster ofc.

Anyone having the same issues? Is anyone even using the official client? Or is it better to directly add the connection? Also the GUI of the VPN client seems to be very slow and buggy.

Actually this time it was the Proton Pass for Linux download from Proton itself where I noticed that. I also have this problem on steam or when updating fedora. And when I browse the web it always takes some time till it even starts connecting to a site.
