Over the past 5 or 6 months I've noticed that my wifi at home is noticeably slower when I'm not connected to a VPN than when I'm connected to a VPN. Does anyone know why this might be? I've never had any problems that I can think of before a few months ago, but for some reason I now have to connect to a VPN for pretty much every service to not buffer for minutes at a time. YouTube, browser, messaging, everything. I've also noticed the issue is far worse on my phone rather than my laptop which only rarely I have issues on, so maybe there's something there. I'm not tech savvy so I've never accessed my router somehow and I don't know how to do any tricks. I just connect and hope for the best. Any help is appreciated. Also, I'm in Japan if that helps anyone. It's a Sony wifi 6 router that we've had in our apartment since we moved in 2 and a half years ago. Again, no problems until just 5 or 6 months ago and I don't know why that wouldve happened. Did a speed test with VPN and got a DL speed of 77 Mbps, without VPN was 155 yet still buffers without VPN. Not sure that means anything but thought I'd id add it anyways. PLEASE HELP. Thank you.

Edit: I changed the DNS to 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 and it seems to have worked. If it stops working again I'll have to figure it out. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know the strikeout song played at KT Wiz home games when they strike someone out? It sounds like an old post war or colonial era trot song. Maybe a weird question but I like that kind of music, so I'm trying to find out what it might be. Thanks for any help.
