Realize that the speed test server may be burdened and thus inaccurate: test at different times of day, and on different days, and consider the highest scores most accurate.Make sure no other devices are using the broadband connection.Make sure there are no other programs or applications running in the background.IncreaseBroadbandSpeed (Heath, 2020) suggested several steps to conduct accurate tests: Since performance had been the big issue with NordVPN, I started there. (Proton said the paid and free versions used the same servers, just that there weren’t as many for the free. But since ProtonVPN’s paid version tended to rank highly in various reviews, I decided to include the free version in the comparison. I wasn’t sure I had ever tried to use it full-time. In the meantime, during these two years, I had occasionally used the free version of ProtonVPN. for a two-year contract, with a 30-day money-back guarantee, it seemed worth trying Surfshark. My impression was that, since that previous go-round, Surfshark had become a new name in the top rankings.
Maybe they weren’t testing in my city, or weren’t testing systems like mine. I wasn’t sure why my experience varied so much from the results reported by various reviewers. The principal problem was performance: I encountered speeds so slow that some webpages would time out before NordVPN could deliver them to me.Īs indicated in another post, reviewers continued to name NordVPN among the best paid VPN services, in terms of price and performance. Two years earlier, I had tried NordVPN as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) provider and had come away dissatisfied. While I ran that comparison in Windows, the post also offers information on Linux installation. This post provides the results of a comparison of ProtonVPN’s free service against Surfshark’s inexpensive paid service.
Sources also often said that free VPNs were inferior to paid ones. Many sources recommended using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for security and privacy.
