cephoe posted : It does depend on how far away your are from the VPN server. I've found that the more popular VPNs like HMA (Hide My Ass) tend to be slower, whereas smaller ones like Private Internet Access and TorGuard have good speeds (e.g. 1-2 Mbps per second).

I use ivpn.net, which works well and has many good attributes. But, yes, it slows things down a bit depending on your selected connection point.

How about just a plain link without the affiliate parameter?

Once we know that I think we'll be able to help you better.

Also as a general rule, VPN can and will drop your throughput speeds.
