This is why I love Wireguard. Almost no loss of speed when using it what-so-ever. I’ll edit this post later with tests using openvpn to show the difference. In the past openvpn has been much slower.

RPi4 plugged into a mesh satellite. I’ll have to move it to the router and test it!

I’ll share mine. Twisted pair goes to the next ISP’s node. The node itself is connected by fiber. All network is approximately 10 years old.
11$ or 9€ per month including IP TV. ISP offers 500 Mb/s down. Real speed varies from 350 to 600 Mb/s.

VPN connection cuts a lot (node is located in different country).

I’m not sure that the script is a good choice to measure internet speed. I’m getting quite some different values if I compare speedtest.net Python script with their own WebSite.
Both test targeted the same test server

Bit disappointed as I have a full fibre 300Mps connection. Am going over Nord VPN, but get way way higher than that on my Mac
the python script is not a real good tool to measure your internet speed as you can see above on the discussion. Quite some difference on speed
detection.
Did a speedtest via the Speedtest website via the Firefox browser. My 300Mbps full fibre connection was getting 91Mbps on the Pi. I am connecting via Nord, but when I do the same test on my Mac (via Nord) I get 125Mbps - 25% reduction
