When running WireGuard on Windows 10 & Windows 11 (x64 / ARM64 • WireGuardNT Kernel Driver), setting your interface MTU to 1420 with a 25-second PersistentKeepalive ensures zero packet fragmentation over PPPoE, DOCSIS, and CGNAT broadband links.

3. Testing Your Tunnel & Leak Protection

Once connected to UK-LON-01 (London 4ms) • Auto Fastest Server, open SWEEPR’s free IP, DNS & WebRTC Leak Test (/tools/leak-test) or ISP Speed & Throttling Checker (/tools/isp-throttling-test) to confirm your public IPv4/IPv6 and DNS resolvers are 100% encrypted.

Every SWEEPR VPN Pro plan covers up to 10 devices simultaneously and is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
