I have a full fiber connection from ISP to home (distance 2 km), my rig is cabled to the ISP modem, tested withOokla speed test:

no VPN 960/580

Cyberghost VPN 540/460

Eset security VPN same speeds

FS total VPN 340/380

Location France, VPN servers in Paris

I am very disappointed with FS cataplut hydra based protocol: I need a better server in Paris which is 210 km from my home town

    I share your assessment. It seems as if there has been no moderation since january.

    Hello @yeoldfart

    Thank you for your question.

    May we confirm that you are referring to the beta version or the production app? Hydra-based protocol is only available in the beta version at the moment.

    Thank you.

    I had to switch back to Wireguard for overall performance, I figure out the Paris server is lame… we need better (ram) servers located evenly to cover the country, specifically south and east not less than 2 in Paris.
