How fast is my internet?
A speed test is useful, but it is only a snapshot. Run it twice: once without VPN, once with VPN, using the same network.
Internet speed test
Quick browser-side check: ping, download speed and connection type when your browser exposes it.
Use the same network with and without VPN for a fair comparison.
The numbers
Download speed affects streaming and downloads. Upload speed affects video calls and sending files. Ping affects games, calls and how responsive sites feel.
Test fairly
Stand near the router, close big downloads, use the same test server, then compare. If Wi-Fi is unstable, every VPN will look worse than it is.
VPN speed
A VPN adds encryption and routing. Some slowdown is normal. A nearby WireGuard server should still feel fast for browsing, calls and video.
When to switch server
If ping jumps hard or video keeps buffering, choose a closer server. Germany and Netherlands are usually good Europe defaults.
