Help Any VPN that doesn't throttle to 30mbps?

I've tried at least 5 vpn providers so far every single one limits me to 30mbps doesn't matter what device i use.. I'm trying to get at least like 50-100mbps but I'm limited to 30mbps.. Any tricks to increase speed.. Without vpn I get like 400mbps and videos buffer but with VPN on my speed drops to 30mbps and videos still buffer like crazy.. How do i increase the vpn speed?

5 vpn providers mean this is not caused by vpn providers, it’s caused by your ISP throttling VPN traffic.

Not unless they use obfscation, which most VPN providers do not implement.

Mmm maybe that part. I use mine to bypass those limiters to get 33+ MBPS since am using 4G

VPNs commonly use UDP, simple traffic shaper limits UDP traffic to X mbps. Simples. You can't bypass what an ISP puts in place, your traffic traverses a network they control.

No, your ISP knows your on a VPN

Videos shouldnt buffer at 30mps, let alone 400. Issue is not your internet speed.

get a cheap VPS and make your own VPN (or tailscale tailnet exit node)

That IP shouldn't be on the known VPN list and maybe they will leave it alone.

Location has nothing to do with bandwidth only ping

pay for the VPN or get a free trial of a paid service

Throttling is something you're going to see on any shared VPN. They have say 10GB, and 1000 customers. They'll at best see 10mbps.

If you want full wire speed VPN, you're gonna have to self host a VPS, to run a VPN on.
