Hi,
I have a ASUS AC5300 router and am using it's openVPN client. I've tried using services like PIA, Buffered, and expressVPN services, but none of them will let me get over 32Mbps in download speeds on a cable connection that I get 134Mbps without VPN. I realize there is some overhead with using VPN, but I think only getting about 1/4 to 1/3 of my purchased throughput is a little high.
I've worked with these companies tech support and none of them could get any better performance. In fact, I was told that my ASUS router is the bottleneck, that it cannot perform the 'modern day' type processes to get better performance. Since I have over 15 devices at home, I have to stick with a network solution as VPN providers don't allow very many connections.
So, if this router is the issue, what options do I have to move the VPN processing from the client in the router to another piece of hardware, so that I can utilized the bandwidth I am paying for? Are their VPN hardware devices that will allow a much higher Mbps, if this truly is an issue on my end of the connection.
Is my router which is being used as a client, really the issue?
