oh, me also using same client

Hi, i urgently need a VPN to use malaysia IP for some apps, im currently in oversea not able return to malaysia yet and this apps need malaysia IP. or any other way i can do it?

are you try to logon into unifi.com.my website?

last months i'm at some country try to logon into unifi's website just want to read if they have a new promotion.

guess what, access denied. error 16 from their so-called imperva.

what a lame.

try nordvpn or expressvpn they have malaysian IP server.

got a question.. my company issued laptop has vpn to allow access to email etc.

my home subs is 100/50Mbps, upon connection via vpn, test at nperf, speedtest shows the speed is 3x higher for download and up to 12x for upload

how is this even possible?

company vpn server is local or overseas?

..

Is that remote desktop?
It is impossible for normal user to hit more than 1gbps,as your pc and your router and the btu does not support more than 1gbps... (Of course newer pc got 2.5g port,but still the same theory BTU does not support 2.5G port)

Laptop L470 Lenovo few years old. AX20 router. Few test diff time on nperf, Maxis and speed test show almost similar download and uploads..

Funny right?

what vpn client did your company use?

openvpn?
L2TP/IPsec?

This unsure... Another test today...

Could it be the VPN has certain encryption that makes the bandwidth reading invalid?

One way to test it is to perform download a big file with and without vpn to compare, if indeed with vpn the download speed is faster?

Just suggesting la...

Not too sure about the encryption by vpn. Download of big office files is fast though... 🤔

For a more accurate reading, run another network monitoring app at the same time you run the speedtest. Since it's a company issued device you're probably restricted when it comes to installing applications, but I think your OS should have it's own. I assume yours is a Windows laptop, so probably somewhere in the task manager or system monitor (sorry, I don't use Windows) there should be a wifi/network tab. Get the reading for the interface your company VPN uses.

you may try use download manager and see the download rate.

Opera browser got free built in VPN, but found it laggy. now i use VPN.... price is quite high. any recommended cheaper one?

NordVPN is the current best vpn selection for me.
It had more server than most vpn provider at a specific location.
Example singapore had 40+ server,but most other vpn provider only have 1-4 server at singapore.

ya i using nord vpn now.... not bad la, can use on phone & pc... rm55 per month.

more likely using remote.. not actual vpn client and your company are using AWS server.
