Why this speed test is different
Many speed tests use a nearby server, sometimes within or very close to your ISP's network. InternetSpeed.online transfers real data between your device and remote servers in major data centers.
This helps measure performance beyond the fastest possible route inside or close to your ISP's network.
VPN Performance Testing
We continuously test paid and free VPN services using the same speed-testing technology used by InternetSpeed.online. Results are based on real measurements, not advertised speeds.
VPN providers cannot buy a higher position in our rankings.

VPN Speed Testing Methodology
I test paid and free VPN plans over a wired connection from San Diego, using four parallel connections. Automated tests run up to five times a day. Rankings use the latest completed UTC day’s median download speed.
Testing methodologyTesting VPNs Against Network Blocking
VPN performance is only useful if the VPN can connect in the first place. We also test VPN services from networks where VPN traffic is actively restricted.
A VPN passes the test only when it successfully connects and internet traffic continues to work through the VPN.
What Can Affect Your Internet Speed?
Internet speed can vary between tests. Your ISP, network congestion, Wi-Fi conditions, device performance, router limitations, server distance and other active traffic can all affect the result.
For the most consistent measurement, use a wired connection when possible and pause large downloads, cloud backups and other bandwidth-heavy activity during the test.

How are VPN speeds measured?
I test paid and free VPN plans over a wired connection from San Diego, using four parallel connections. Automated tests run up to five times a day. Rankings use the latest completed UTC day’s median download speed.
Can VPN companies pay for a higher ranking?
No. Ranking positions are determined by measured performance and are not sold to VPN providers.
Does a network-blocking test guarantee that a VPN will work everywhere?
No. VPN blocking varies by country, network, provider, protocol and time. Our results describe what worked in the tested environment at the time of testing.
