Is My Proxy Slowing Down My Internet? How Can I Fix It? or Why Does My Proxy Keep Disconnecting? Any

Yo, thanks for all the tips!! Tried switching to a closer server and HOLY CRAP it’s faster already.

Still getting random drops tho—gonna test the IKEv2 thing next.

Quick Q: anyone know if my proxy’s encryption level affects speed? Like, should I lower it for streaming?
