VersaVPN Performance Testing
- Baseline speed test – before connecting to VersaVPN we tested our Internet speed and found it to be 26.93 Mbps download and 3.19 Mbps upstream. Connecting from the US – east coast.
- United States speed test – after connecting to a Chicago area server via L2TP we tested our Internet speed and found it to be 7.66 Mbps download and 2.92 Mbps upstream.
- United Kingdom speed test – after connecting to a VPN server in the UK via L2TP we tested our Internet speed and found it to be 0.81 Mbps download and 1.31 Mbps upstream.
