(I don't really care -- so what if my skype friends think I work for the CIA -- just curious.)
I never use skype on vpn since i find it too slow for good call quality. However, I do find the server locations quite random. E.g. connecting to the SF server, if I go to 'speedtest.net', it shows my location as london! I do think that the company rather picks out random servers rather than dedicated ones, but I'm not enough of a techie to fully understand this.
I have found speeds on vpn to have improved considerably over the last week, however....let's see if it continues.
