Proton VPN slows down after a few hours

Help!

Hi all,

I'm using the paid version, and everything works well when I first boot up my computer, but around the middle of the day is when I start to experience sever slowness, e.g., a website starts to take a minute to load.

The server location and load doesn't seem to causing this because the load is always below 70% when this problem occurs, and I've tried multiple locations.

It's fixed by simply disconnecting and reconnecting, which isn't the end of the world, but this "bug" prevents me from installing it for my parents since they are very hands-off when it comes to troubleshooting.
