Packet Size
Tweak your packet size to improve performance.
All networks are different, and there is no one magical setting that will work for everyone. Tweak this setting if you experience speed or web-page loading issues.
A Network Packet is a small amount of data sent over the network - Packet size, measured in MTU, is the size of the data sent per packet.
If you run into slow speeds or web page load issues, there is a good chance there is an MTU issue on your network. Reducing the packet size may help.
Windscribe will attempt to detect the optimal MTU / packet size for your network.
This allows you to set the packet size manually. Lower values (below 1300) will help you troubleshoot this problem. Setting this value too low will have the opposite effect and will make things even slower.
Check out our Knowledge Base for more info on packet size and what you should set your MTU size to.
