  • I'd imagine that really depends on your hardware. On my desktop I can get 400Mbps without VPN, 110Mbps with VPN (PIA program). On my Z7+ I get around 90Mbps on the WIFI without VPN, and around 45Mbps with VPN (PIA App). On the router if I run VPN (L2TP) through that I get around 140-190Mbps (Kind of random). But with it on the router that's what I'd have to share between 3-4 streaming devices, so not so great if not all of them need to be on VPN. If you've just got 1-2 devices streaming at a time and get good speed off the VPN through the router then I'd say that's the way to go, less work for the Z7. I hear if you want good constant VPN speed you're better off doing a PFSense build to run as a router with VPN.
