VPN slow on iPhone — measure before you switch protocols

Slow usually means far server, congested node, or a network that hates your protocol. Speed Test without VPN, then with Fastest, then with another protocol.

What to know

Nearby Free/Premium exits matter more than brand myths. Hysteria2/VLESS help reachability more than raw home-fiber Mbps. Jitter ruins calls even when download looks fine.

How to use it

Baseline → Optimal/Fastest → WireGuard → if blocked try AmneziaWG/VLESS → compare jitter for Discord/WhatsApp.

Limits and honest expectations

VPN adds overhead. On already-weak LTE, disconnect may feel faster — that is physics, not a bug.
