Browsing on any browser (Firefox, Thorium, Librewolf) on MXLinux 23 has been really slow for me. I'm able to download torrents, for example, at around 3-4 MB/s, but internet pages take 5-20 seconds to load. Duckduckgo searches take 5-10 seconds.
Online speed tests give the following results:
Download speed: 20.48 Mbps
Upload speed: 29.52 Mbps
Browsing is faster on my Win10 VM, but not as fast I think it should be.
I'm using ProtonVPN on both Linux and the Windows VM.
Any idea what could cause such difference between downloading and browsing?
See below my quick system info:
