Get a realistic speed range before you choose a VPN.
We measure your connection first, then use real benchmark data to compare providers, protocols and exit locations. You can see which setup is more likely to work well on your route before you commit to it.
The current 30-day dataset contains 28,779 quality-checked, rankable VPN measurements. Tests come from 5 source locations and cover 2 measured VPN providers across 87 destination countries. We keep the source location separate because the same VPN exit can behave very differently depending on where the connection starts.
Snapshot generated 2026-09-22. Live tools may contain newer measurements. Open dataset details.
These rows come from the latest published live snapshot. Source, provider, protocol and exit stay visible so a fast route is not mistaken for a universal result.

A normal speed test stops at your internet speed. Secure-VPN uses that result as a starting point, then compares real VPN benchmark history for different providers, protocols and exit locations.
NordLynx vs Lightway vs OpenVPN — compared against your measured connection, not just in theory.
Dig into speeds, protocols, destinations and provider comparisons using the same underlying benchmark data.
Compare speed retention across benchmark destinations and time windows.
Open heatmap →See how NordLynx, Lightway and OpenVPN differ in speed, retention and latency.
Compare protocols →Follow benchmark performance and stability through time.
View trends →See how provider and protocol performance changes across VPN exit countries.
Explore geography →Compare providers using the same exit locations, test locations and time windows.
Open comparison →Raw Mbps alone can be misleading. A VPN exit can perform very differently depending on where the test starts, so Secure-VPN keeps source locations separate and shows speed retention alongside raw throughput.
Provider comparisons do not mix results from different test locations.
Tests that fail our quality checks stay out of the main rankings.
