It would remove most of the justifications for using a VPN. Even your internet service provider cannot access the information sent through the VPN connection.

It was actually my error. I hadn't used a VPN before, so I wasn't aware of it. Essentially, the cable delivering to my home is identified, and my ISP provides bandwidth to that line rather than directly to my IP address. If I switch ISPs, someone could physically replace the existing cable with a new one, which would affect my bandwidth accordingly. That's why I experience more or less bandwidth depending on the ISP.

Your router's MAC address is linked to the service you use. This gives the router a public IP, while your private IP stays within the network. The internet access comes through your router's private IP, also known as the default gateway. It directs all data to its WAN address, which connects you to the internet.

It's not possible to alter it. It must be received automatically, or changing it could cause it to fail.

The ISP supplying the datacenter your VPN is connected to is displayed. For example, if you rent a VPS in California and install a VPN, speed tests will show your ISP as being in California.

I also adjusted the router settings to see what happens, but it doesn’t work when changed manually. What I notice is that the internet bandwidth goes through the switch outside my home and isn’t tied to a specific IP range. This means my ISP keeps control so that even if you get an IP from another provider, the bandwidth is delivered directly to your house rather than being routed virtually to an IP address. That makes sense?

I realized that too. Using a VPN alters your ISP identifier, but you won’t benefit from the ISP’s actual performance.

I don't understand your request well, and the terms used don't make much sense. Maybe you should consider taking a networking basics class.

ISP sets bandwidth limits through files or settings sent to your router or modem based on the link type.
