For a couple of days now, I'm doing some tinkering and checking on how vpn/ovpn affects the speed of your mobile internet connection. I also did some research about it online.
Well there's are a lot of articles about it and based on what I researched, vpn/ovpn doesn't speed up instead it slows down the connection a bit due to the fact that they encrypts your data making it slower than compared to the bare data without it.
As mentioned aboved, I did some checking (please refer to the attached screen shot).
Earlier tonight I did some speed check using speedtest.net app. Twice I trun the test with and without the use of ovpn app.
Tools- Huawei mobile pocket wifi with Sun broadband postpaid simsim, ovpn app with singapore .ovpn config.
** no tricks/ additional config.
The result:
without ovpn- 0 result (I can't even finish the test and always network communication error)
with ovpn- 2 results.
So guys, what's your take on this?
Is it much better to use cpn/ovpn or not?
