Hi folks, thought I would give a VPN a try to see how it affected my speeds, never really bothered with them before so it's all new to me really.
I thought I would try out Proton VPN as it stated they had a free tier that had unlimited data.
I managed to get an account set up and the app installed on a firestick max and chromecast wth Google TV.
To my surprise, my speeds have increased from my usual 30 to just under 60 which is a huge difference and I'm to be honest quite gobsmacked.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use this VPN on the CPE Pro 2 router at all?
Proton states that it supports OpenVPN routers and IKEv2 but not sure these are suitable for the CPE Pro 2, I suspect not.
I'm delighted with my results on the firestick and chromecast, but the main reason I wanted Proton on the router was to see if it I could improve my Xbox game updates a little.
I have yet to look for any VPN's on the Xbox store.
Any advice for any free VPN's suitable wth the CPE Pro would be most welcome as I'm not familiar with their use at all up until I tried out Proton.
Although Proton gives me access to the US netflix etc this isn't my reason for wanting a VPN, nor is privacy, I'm just loving the little boost in my speeds.
Anyway thanks to anyone who's bothered to read my rather lengthy VPN noobie post, any advice most welcome.
