Using a VPN may have an impact on your internet speed. This is because encrypting, routing data through a VPN server, and then decrypting it adds to the time it takes to transmit data through the VPN. As a result, you can anticipate a reduction in your maximum internet speed of approximately 10 percent. It’s worth noting that the extent of speed reduction can vary from one VPN to another, depending on factors like optimization and server congestion.
