Proton VPN on Linux very slow - eviltoast

I am using the offical Linux Client (4.3.2) on Fedora but the connections are very slow. I played around with the few settings the client offers but it’s not getting better. Sometimes the speedtest seems okay with UDP, but when I download large files the speed stays around a few hundred kilobytes per second. Without VPN the same downloads are much, much faster ofc.

Anyone having the same issues? Is anyone even using the official client? Or is it better to directly add the connection? Also the GUI of the VPN client seems to be very slow and buggy.

    same,

    I know many people suggested downloading the openvpn or wireguard config file, but I like the convenience of starting the app and connecting to whatever the fastest server is.

    But still the current app isn’t the best, I hope they will improve soon
