Hello team,

I have the following setup:

- Optical internet provider - 600Mbps/400Mbps DL/UL

- Nokia ONT-G-2425G-A entry point

- wired to Deco XE75

- devices connect through WiFi to the Deco XE75

Direct speeds through WiFi (no VPN), depending on the endpoint that is reached: DL 500+Mbps and UL 200+Mbps

I'm trying to set up a VPN - NordVPN.

I can successfully configure and connect but:

When the VPN is set on the Deco the speeds drastically degrade - DL 10-15Mbps / UL 10-20 Mbps.

• I tried the automatic config, through Token, and the manual OpenVPN config with Username and Password - the same results.
• I tried different VPN servers - with the same results.
• I tried rebooting the whole network - no difference.
• I tried both options for the connected devices - All and Selected - same results.

When the VPN is through the NordVPN app on my Mac - speeds are almost identical as without VPN - DL 450-500 Mbps / UL 200+ Mbps

Am I missing some step in the config?

Anything else should be configured on the Deco?

Any firmware update that fixes this issue? (Checked in the app and it says - You are up to date)

How can I fix this and directly use the NordVPN on the Deco XE75?

Thanks in advance
