      Here's how it all happened:

      So around a week ago I ran into a problem of servers taking a while to load. It all started when I had two Minecraft clients (on different accounts) open at once to bug test my server. What happened was when I was on one account on the server, it was near impossible to join on the other, thanks to "connection throttled." After getting "connection throttled" a few times, my server list started taking a while to load. I thought it was because I had two Minecrafts open, but it started doing this when I only had one client open. I thought it might have been my internet, so I ignored it for a day or so. Once it kept happening, I knew there was something wrong.

      So I've heard about this thing were if Mojang thought you were trying to DDOS, or any other suspicious activities at once, it would put your IP on either a "freeze" or "slow down" mode. I didn't know if this was true or not, so I decided to turn on my VPN to switch IPs, and to see if servers would still take a while to load. Once my VPN was on, and TAD-AH! They loaded in instantly, like they used to. But when I turned my VPN off, it went back to being slow again. I decided to change my IP to see if it would help; I changed my public IP, my internet's MAC address, my computer IP, and even my computer's MAC address, and still, servers took a long time to load.

      So here's the gist of it: Servers load instantly (like they used to) if my VPN is on. But when my VPN isn't on, they take forever to load.

      I would just play with my VPN on 24/7, but quite a few servers won't let you play with a VPN turned on.

      If anyone knows a solution, please let me know!

      Thanks!
