AsusZen XT8 & VPN

[richards1052]

Just bought an Asus Zen XT8 router.  I've been using Mullvad VPN. The instructions for configuring the two properly seem incredibly complicated to me. I've tried to follow them and failed repeatedly.

Is there any other good VPN which is simpler to set up with my router?

I did succeed in connecting my router with my VPN via Wireguard.

But I'm noticing that when the router isn't connected to VPN it's twice as fast as when it is connected.  I can't figure out why the speed degrades so much when I connect to the VPN. I want to use VPN.  But I'd like to get similar speed when I use it.  Can you think of any issue regarding compatibility that might be causing this?

Its is normal that with VPN the speed always drops, by how much depends on VPN provider hardware, the load on it and on the distance from your location and the selected VPN node. The Wireguard is the fastes VPN.
