VPN speed: what to expect

A good VPN adds little overhead. Here’s what affects VPN speed, how to test it honestly, and why VPNTYPE averages 75+ Mbit/s with modern protocols.

What affects VPN speed

  • Distance to the server
  • Your base connection speed
  • Protocol (WireGuard is fastest)
  • Network congestion and ISP throttling

How to test it

Run a speed test with the VPN off, then on, using a nearby server. A small drop is normal; a large one usually means a distant server or a congested network.

Frequently asked questions

Will a VPN slow me down a lot?

Usually not — with WireGuard and a nearby server the difference is often hard to notice.

Why is a distant server slower?

Greater distance adds latency and can reduce throughput; pick a closer server for speed.
