Relevant mainly where VPN services are blocked
If you are in the US, a European country, or elsewhere and VPN services are not blocked on your network, these results need not rule this VPN out of your purchase decision. A failed test under blocking in Russia does not, by itself, mean the VPN is poor quality or will not work where you live. Consider its speed, features and price for your needs.
| Censorship | FastestVPN | StrongVPN |
|---|---|---|
| Does it work on restricted networks? | In our tests in Russia, we could not establish a working VPN connection that allowed data transfer under VPN blocking. | In our tests in Russia, this VPN bypassed VPN blocking: we successfully connected to a VPN server and transferred data through the connection. |
