Internet Speed Test

Test your internet connection speed. Compare speeds with and without VPN to see the impact on your connection.

Speed test powered by Fast.com (Netflix). For accurate VPN testing, run once without VPN, then with VPN connected.

How to Test VPN Speed

1

Disconnect VPN

Run the speed test without VPN to get your baseline speed.

2

Connect VPN

Connect to your VPN server and wait for a stable connection.

3

Compare Results

Run the test again with VPN and compare the speeds.

What to Expect

VPNs add encryption overhead and route traffic through servers, which can reduce speeds. Here's what's typically considered acceptable:

0-10%
Excellent - Premium VPN performance
10-20%
Good - Normal VPN performance
20-40%
Fair - Consider switching servers
40%+
Poor - Try a different VPN or protocol

Tips for Better VPN Speed

  • Connect to nearby servers - The closer the server, the faster your connection.
  • Use WireGuard protocol - It's faster than OpenVPN while maintaining strong security.
  • Avoid peak hours - VPN servers can get congested during peak usage times.
  • Try split tunneling - Route only sensitive traffic through VPN for better overall speed.
