Freedome has extremly slow speed with my new router!
I have moved and has a new isp and a new broadband router. On the old router i had a slower connection with downloading 100mb/S and uploading about 40,b/s. While using Freedome i often reached over 100mb/S which was a good rating for at VPN service.
Now i have a new better router which has much higher speed. When not using Freedom it spans from 250mb/S and almost upp to 300mb/S. However,now to my dissappointment, when activating Freedome i can only reach downloading speeds about 99mb/s and uploading speed of about 115 mb/S!
Ny to my questions which i hope that you can answer. Always when running a VPN service it reduces the speed at bout 20-30% at most, but with my new router which has a much higher capacity of 250-300mb/S i only reach a third of the top speed!!
Why cant i get any higher connection with this new router? Is the network settings wrong in some way? My computer is 6 years old,so it does not has the up to date coponents. Its a Packard Bell iMedia S2380 with 8 GB RAM and a A8-5500 3.2 GHz processor. Is my computer to old for using Freedom and get high results of it? When turning of the Freedome i can reach speeds of 250-300mb/S.
My old router which had slower connection gave better reults using Freedome than my brandnew router with much higher speed. I would be greatful to receive any tips of what i can do to improve the speed while using Freedome. Why does Freedome reduce the speed to almost a third of its capacity? I am using fiber broadband.

That was indeed not a god answer to my questions! I live in Sweden and the fastest speed i receive is when i choose location Stockholm. I have tried to change and tried all the other locatons world wide as well, and they all provide even slower speed. I use the isp Bredbandsbolaget.
The expection is for my android phone where the Freedome app works fine,and i will most likely keep it for the future.
If this is the fastest service you can provide comparing to my broadband speed,then i will not renew the Freedome license when it expires.This is disappointing.There are other VPN service competitors that can provide higher speed.
Let me ask you a some counterquestions. What is the highest speed that Freedome can provide? Lets say if i had a conneciton with 1000mb/s would you still not be able to deliver more than average 100mb/s? What do you mean with network related changes? If i now have more than confirmed 250mb/s with Freedome turned off,and i now have poorer results with Freedome turned on, then there must be a clear explanation/solution for this?

Hi Grimlock,
We do not limit the speed on purpose, and the speed you're experiencing depends on a lot more than just the router. This article can also provide more information: https://community.f-secure.com/t5/F-Secure/How-should-I-interpret-Ookla/ta-p/78921

This does not give any answer to the problem with extremely slow speed on my router.When doing this Ookla test with Freedome location turned of, i receive these results:
Download speed Mbps 258 upload speed 106Mbps
However when turning Freedome on and location on, i recevie these results:
Download speed 82 upload Mbps speed 99 Mbps
Are you saying that this is the best results you can provide with Freedome turned on?

I live in Sweden, so the closest location should be in either Sweden or some of the other Nordic countries.I have tried all the closest locations,including Sweden,Finland,Norway and Denmark and i all the time get equal poor results when having Freedome turned on. I tried them all,but with Freedome on i get slow results.
However, when i turn Freedome of, i get highest speed from my ISP with 250/mbs-300mb/S.
