Proton VPN on Linux very slow (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Thx for answer. I am a premium user actually. I don't use any DNS filter and the setting to increase speed is already on. I will try to connect with the fedora settings directly tough.

Is the official client working smoothly for you?

I haven't had any major issues at all, it's been great all in all. I run Proton's VPN and NextDNS on my devices as well as router too.
