Why test your VPN speed?

Using a VPN adds an extra layer of encryption to your internet connection, which can sometimes result in slightly lower speeds. Regular testing helps you ensure that:

  • Your ISP isn't throttling your connection.
  • You are connected to the optimal VPN server.
  • Your streaming and gaming experience remains lag-free.

If you notice slow speeds, try switching to a server location closer to you or changing the VPN protocol (e.g., from OpenVPN to WireGuard).

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, a ping (latency) below 50ms is considered excellent for online gaming. Anything under 100ms is playable for most games.
Yes. Data travels through physical cables. The further the server is from your physical location, the higher the latency (ping) and potentially lower the speed.
Most residential internet connections are "asymmetric," meaning ISPs prioritize download bandwidth for streaming and browsing over upload bandwidth.
