Very slow software update
Very slow software update
I have a VU+ Uno 4K and recently reflashed from 6.4 to 7.2. The problem I am having is that when checking for software update takes several minutes to find the updates and then about 6 mins to install. I have the same problem with XE Downloader, it took 11mins to open the plugin, the same for XE Vpn (the XE plugins are the latest version for 7.2 python 3). I have a very fast Fiber Internet connection and I know that is not the problem. All worked normally before the fresh flash. Any suggestions please.

Exactly. A VPN network is most likely the cause of slow internet.
Unfortunately, Linux set-top boxes have poor internet network configurability.
There is often a problem with setting the default gateway to the internet. When using a VPN, the default gateway is used on the VPN interface and not the direct gateway for your local internet connection (provided by your internet provider). This means that all data flows through your VPN network. It's simply a misconfigured network in Linux on the set-top box.
I can't give you more advice on this, because I'm not an expert on computer networks. I only know all the basic management of computer networks. Not details such as network interface settings or routing policy on the computer local network (on Linux machine).
////////// EDIT :
You can find a lot of information on this topic even through the Google search engine. For example, here:
How to Add or Change the Default Gateway in Linux: 9 Steps
How to Set the Default Gateway in Linux
For example, to display the default gateway in Linux, use the following command in the Linux shell / terminal:
Then... if the default gateway is directed to a VPN address, you can use this to delete the default gateway and add a new default gateway:
Of course, if you use a different gateway address in your LAN or from your internet provider, then change the address 192.168.1.1 in the example to the address used by your internet provider or according to the gateway of your wifi router in your LAN.
Furthermore, I do not know whether these changes are persistent or only temporary (until the next restart). If the changes are only temporary, it will be necessary to find and modify the appropriate configuration file in Linux (in the set-top box) - for the network policy of packet routing.
Since Linux set-top boxes are very similar to the Debian distribution, as well as a fixed default gateway setting, editing the "[font=Courier New]/etc/network/interfaces[/font]" file could help, for example. More info for example here (I haven't tried to do it and I don't know if it will help):
debian - Setting Gateway Address via Network Interfaces File - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
Or if you know how, modifying the starting / stopping of networks in the linux set-top box, which works on Enigma2 set-top boxes via the "init.d" script, that could help, specifically this one script:
[font=Courier New]/etc/init.d/networking[/font]
However, you must know what you are doing and you must have some good IT knowledge. This file can also be automatically overwritten (updated) during an Enigma2 update, and thus your modification will be lost.
Another possibility, as I found out, could be to install the package in OpenATV and then use these scripts:
