In the past, I've seen a substantial networking performance impact from VPNs because of how they hook into Apple's networking stack, even for domains that aren't being accessed through the VPN. So, I'm curious if there are any benchmarks measuring LuLu's impact on performance.

Bump. I've anecdotally noticed some big drop-offs in speed. Any information on this would be much appreciated
