The platform gauges our download and upload speeds, and ping (latency), which measures the time it takes for a data packet to traverse from your device to the server and return. Execute the speed test: After establishing a connection to our VPN, we visit our selected test site and initiate the speed test.Most VPNs provide an easy-to-use “connect” feature, which navigates us directly to the nearest server.
We aim to link to the server closest to our actual location. We start by measuring our internet speeds without a VPN to get a clear grasp of how VPNs impact our connectivity. Here, we choose to conduct our VPN examinations using Ookla’s publicly accessible speed test. Speeds are updated weekly (last updated Decemat 17:32 UTC). VPN services are connected to the nearest possible server.
Methodology: Our VPN speed comparison is tested on a Windows 11 machine using Cloudflare's publicly available speed test.
