Speed guide tests

1. Ping test

   Ping is a useful tool for measuring latency between your ISP and our VPN servers ISP. Lower ping rates usually mean faster VPN speeds.

2. Express test

   Express test measures your ping rates AND download and upload speed. Express test only downloads and uploads 100kb of data per server making testing really quick for all types of connection speeds.

3. Full test

   Full test does the same as express test but does more intensive download/upload tests based on your actual connection speed. Users with fast connection speeds will download/upload larger test files than users with slow connection speeds making this test more accurate.

Speed guide results

After running a test you will be presented with a results table which clearly lists the results in order of speed.

Test results can be added to the server list screen under a new group 'Top 10 servers with quickest download/upload speed' and 'Top 10 servers with best ping rates'.

All test results are historically stored in the history tab for easy access.
