Using a Virtual Private Network tunnel can slow down your internet. This is because your information is encoded and sent through a server that's far away. This can make your internet a little slower. The speed of your internet will depend on things like how the server is, the kind of Virtual Private Network you use, and how good your internet connection is. If you pay for a good Virtual Private Network service, they usually have servers that are fast and special protocols like WireGuard that help your internet speed. Sometimes using a VPN tunnel can even make your internet faster because it gets around the internet service provider, slowing you down. So while you might notice your internet is a bit slower, it is usually okay for things like looking at websites and watching videos.
