Hey OP, thanks for all the replies, guys! Super helpful. I tried ipinfo.io and it showed my IP’s location is about 50 miles away—guess that’s my ISP’s server?
Also ran a traceroute (finally figured it out lol), and the first few hops were in the same city. Makes sense now why my VPN was laggy—I was connected to a server across the country.
Gonna test a closer VPN server and see if it’s smoother. Thanks again! 🙌
