While HughesNet has been optimized to help those working and schooling from home, the very high system load as a result of so many more people being home and online can still cause things to not work as well as they normally would, unfortunately.   And with VPNs not working well under normal circumstances with HughesNet, using one under the current conditions very likely compounds the issue.  :(
