I tried 2 different vpns recently. Didn't help much. Although idk too much about it. But I do know that it had my download speeds down to like 25mbps and ny uploads were in the kbps.

Yea all devices do. But no other devices really utilize upload besides my game consoles

How's the uploads without the VPN?

What VPN providers do you use?

I'm not a gamer but I understand games require specific ports.  What ports and protocols (TCP/UDP) do you require to game?  Also, any addressing requirements, such as NAT, cloning, etc.

    I just put my consoles on DMZ as its not nearly as risky as putting a pc on it.

    I tried nordvpn and purevpn

    I don't understand.  What does this DMZ feature do for you?

    Well, DMZ mode definitely wouldn't slow you down.

    Have you played without the VPN?

    What device in your house has the VPN software?
