Comment on Mullvad slowing down internet

How much speed do you need? That is still a lot of bandwidth. This is from someone with 8 mbps up/ 60 mbps down. So your still way better then I am. I am envious. Well no so much as this is enough for me.
Other thing to keep in mind is that bandwidth is only half of performance, latency is the other. So check that too.

yea latency was like 30ms so good enough. 150mbps is usually plenty, I'll just be turning it off when downloading a game for example

As dark ark say, the official mullvad app allows split tunneling. I have split tunneling enabled for things where I am logged in with my real identity. No point hiding my IP from steam when they have my credit card number with my name.

I don’t know the limits of the mullvad client but you might want to look into split tunneling and just allow steam (or whatever program) to avoid the VPN… the privacy benefits are going to be marginal, the latency and download speed penalties will be blatantly obvious.
