Hi, sadly I have a very limited internet connection (10 Mbit). When I’m watching a video and then install something in Discover, it takes almost all the bandwidth and the video begins to stutter & buffer. Somebody knows if there’s a way to limit the download speed for discover - preferably without installing additional software?

    This only works when not using a VPN, do it is not a solution for all

      That depends on the setup. I use a VPN 24/7, but it’s configured on the router so most of my devices are routed through the VPN at all times while at home without them having to run a VPN client themselves, and can also take advantage of DNS-based ad blocking. But yes, it’s not a setup for everyone.

        I think using a VPN on the router is great, but this doesnt work for mobile devices at all. Especially the situation “public wifi” is not dealt with.

          What do you mean doesn’t work for mobile devices “at all”? It works in many ways. If you have a VPN client on your phone, just disable it while you’re connected to your home wifi.
