You might face performance issues since the private network connection works by connecting your network to a private server before accessing your website you would like to visit. That means client has to make two connections one to the Internet Service Provider and then to VPN. In this way it slows down your performance and it also slow down your internet connection speed because of the processing power required for encryption.
