Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are in high demand as people scramble to maintain online security and privacy. One of the primary considerations when choosing a VPN is speed.
Many VPN providers claim to offer the fastest speeds, but this is not always the case. A fast VPN will enable you to stream, torrent, and play online games safely and anonymously.
The side effect of using a VPN is a decrease in your speed. This is a sacrifice you have to bear with as it has to encrypt your traffic and pass it through remote servers. However, if you get a reliable service, the drop in speed will be minimal.
This guide presents an in-depth review of the fastest VPN services and tips to improve your overall speeds. NordVPN stands out from the rest as it only caused a slight drop in our speeds, even when connected to international servers.
Disclaimer: These speeds may vary greatly depending on where you are connecting from, your network, and the devices you are using. We did most of our tests in our London Office. Our correspondents in other regions such as Canada, the US, Australia, France, Pakistan, India, and Brazil also contributed to the tests.
