I am experiencing extremely slow VPN connection. I have had VPN service for atleast a month and the speed never exceeds 3 mbps. Any help with this is appreciated.

Hi, what is the latency to your droplet? Can you ping your droplet from your computer and post the results?

What VPN software are you using?

The speed of your connection will largely depend on the latency between you and the droplet. What are your ping times between the droplet and your location?

Also are you using the geographically closest location that provides the best ping times?

We currently have facilities in NYC, San Francisco, London, Singapore, and Amsterdam.

Thanks!
