Is it able to even reach the server? Can you run “mtr speedtest.net” and “mtr.reddit.com” while connected to the VPN? (<a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-traceroute-and-mtr-to-diagnose-network-issues”>How To Use Traceroute and MTR to Diagnose Network Issues</a>)
I know this is a slow response but is probably worth answering since someone will likely search for this again. Had the same problem myself speedtest.net being one of the sites I was struggling with. The problem is the default MTU that pptpd uses. Which is 1300 something. <br> <br>What you need to do is increase the MTU on ppp0. Since you want this to occur every time a new connection is initiated you need to edit /etc/ppp/ip-up find a space in there and add ‘ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1468’ that should fix things for you.
