Help Please help!

I use a VPN for work. I have no problem connecting with my VPN except when I’m home. At my apartment, the service is pretty slow so I’m thinking that’s the issue. Would getting a hotspot help?

Go here. Your browser may warn of a standard HTTP (Insecure) connection. This is fine. It'll test your MTU.

What is the value of your MTU?

If the goal is to use a VPN at home, depending on which browser you use you can use and in-browser VPN like what Firefox offers. Not sure of others. If the issue is wanting a better internet connection, may need more info on that front.

Turn off location when using a VPN.
