I got Mullvad for one singular purpose, which was to watch Stremio without getting dinged by my ISP. It was always pretty shaky when I tried to use it, sometimes needing to switch VPN several times, but now it doesn't work at all. Anytime I try to watch anything, the loading bar doesn't even start and after a minute or so I get hit with "The source is poorly available or your internet connections is not fast enough". I'm connecting to servers in Los Angeles, which I am near. If I disconnect from Mullvad and risk torrenting on my real connection, the video will load instantly, so the issue 100% lies with Mullvad.
Anything I can do or is this just the reality? That Mullvad is good for privacy but terrible for load speeds and detection? (Detection meaning, that I often get blocked from sites like Reddit or Youtube while using Mullvad because they know I'm using a VPN.)
