On speed: although I get close to my 6mbps upload, I find that I consistently lose about 70%-80% of my 100mbps download.
You can change the way Eddie handles DNS in the advanced settings. Are you using v2.8? The new 2.9 experimental introduced a lot of improvements so maybe give it a whirl. To be fair though if you're shutting down the PC with Eddie still connected then it sounds like network lock is just doing its job. Better to keep the VPN settings when WAN drops (even if you did initiate it) than risk a leak.

As for the speed, I find I don't lose much at all even on 152 (I get closer to 160 in reality). Are you speed testing reliably? Try an Ubuntu torrent in a properly set up client for example. If you're going through a SH then as per my previous post you'll find they are abysmal at routing VPN traffic. Go modem mode with a proper router (preferably home built if you know how). You'll soon see proper throughput.

If not speak to Air, they're good at resolving stuff like this.
