Nordlynx Capping download speeds on Android

VPN
1

Hi everyone i noticed over the past few days that on my phone my download speeds are capped at 150mbps on NordVPN no matter if im on 5g or wifi at home. It is the weirdest thing ever and it happens on Nordlynx. I’ve been using the Nordlynx protocol since it was launched and never had any issues. I would get download speeds extremely close to if not at times the exact same as my download speed.

I currently have 1GB at home and my home pc works fine with Nordlynx getting 860MBPS on a local server and 700mbps on a server 1000 miles away. My phone on the other hand does not want to go past 150mbps if Nord is running on Nordlynx. If i switch to TCP it increases the speed to about 500 on my wifi network but still its not low MS (30+) like on Nordlynx (5.5) and Nordlynx was running perfectly fine at above 750 on my home wifi network.

Not sure what could be the problem as i tried pretty much all troubleshooting. Diff servers, diff protocols, same server on different devices on the same network (this is the only one capped), reset router, reconfigure wifi network, disable ipv6 on my phone network and only use ipv4, remove dns ad blocker, remove ad blockers in general, enable and disable threat protection lite, use obfuscated servers, dns leak test with support, etc.

I’m at a loss as to why one day practically overnight it just stopped working if i didnt do any changes to my phone Galaxy Fold 5, my wifi network, or install new apps or dns changes at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve noticed that the Speedtest app has been having some issues with VPN. Instead of using the app, you can check your internet speeds through your browser. You’ll see the true speeds through the website instead of the app.

I been having this problem for months and it still happens but is full speed on my computer with the same nordlynx.

This won’t give an accurate result. The website is probably the worst way to check speed as it has to load other things such as ads.

On Android, the app is the best

On PC, if you’re tech literate, their command line solution with the correct flags and server set is probably the most accurate followed swiftly by the Windows app

You use Adblock on Firefox for android. It give you accurate results
