I have just compared with KNemo, and to a visual approximate assessment, one could say that (under VPN conditions) the System Monitor is indicating about a factor of 2 overspeed. A bit broad brush, an d need to use squinty eyes of course. Any reason in System Monitor algorithms or code for a x2 to be relvant when VPN is used?

When VPN is stoped and normal connection used, then indicate speeds are as expected.
