I believe VPNs introduce latency and some providers are better at reducing it. I don't know how to avoid ExpressVPN affecting bufferbloat but perhaps someone here can offer some advice or correct me.

Forgive me for even suggesting it but are you testing for bufferbloat while connected to a VPN? I felt very stupid after realising I was doing that with ExpressVPN. My DSLreports bufferbloat rating was stuck on C no matter what I did with QoS. With the VPN disconnected and the rating became A...
