Of course, we could begin a long discussion regarding thin specifications of different protocols, but even just confined to a dry statement of the fact, we see: in the speed test, NordVPN beat CyberGhost second by one and a half hulls. Who knows… Both programs also use OpenVPN UDP and IKEv2, which are also considered safe and reliable. The result, whatever it depends on invariably brings NordVPN the high scores in Tops now.īut wait! What if we just play with settings, look for another protocol that provides us with the same security but shows better results.
Trying to make this bottleneck wider the parents of the program replaced WireGuard with NordLynx (or, maybe upgraded the first up to the second one).
For years and years, the speed loss was the most critical narrow place of NordVPN, causing zillions of users reclamations. What is interesting, NordLynx is positioned by Nord’s programmers as a logical continuation of WireGuard. NordVPN provides your security with the protocol that developers of the program consider the specific feature of their application: NordLynx. There are the results of NordVPN on the same 150 Mbps line: I can’t be sure that such a result Is caused exactly by it, but this is the explanation that jumps in mind the first. The first in line is CyberGhost.ĬyberGhost uses WireGuard protocol. It was hard to find but we succeeded to make our experiment as pure as possible. That’s important: the line guarantees the same speed for downloading and uploading. To be correct and objective, I took the same 300 Mbps line for both services. So, the matter of choice is just how much we lose with one or another VPN service, and whether the level of anonymity provided by such service compensates these losses. The rule is: looking for security in a VPN tunnel, be ready to sacrifice the speed of your connection. Of course, sometimes, especially, if your provider artificially decreases your speed, you may even win some megabits per second, but it is rather an exclusion that proves the common rule.
Sending your traffic through the chain of servers that are often placed in the opposite hemisphere, makes your way from a point A to a point B much longer and you irrevocably lose Mbps on the walls of this tunnel. Talking about speed it’s necessary to clearly understand: you should prepare for a slowdown of your transfer, regardless of the exact brand of VPN you choose.
