Vyprvpn slow speed4/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The last results from our old test system, on a slower net connection including a UK HTTP speed of 6.25MB/s and we routinely saw consistent speeds of around 8MB/s. That's fine for day-to-day web browsing and would max out many consumer net connections. In our UK HTTP test, the best throughput we could get from our VyprVPN connection was 8.16MB/s (65.28Mbit/s). Our new test servers, when not connected to a VPN, typically achieve HTTP speeds of between 45MB/s (360Mbit/s) and 59MB/s (472Mbit/s), depending on the location of the reference server we connect to. Vypr's only major problem is that its transfer speeds compare poorly to almost all of its rivals. Its monthly fee of £7.61 is among the lowest we've seen for a top-flight VPN provider and an annual fee of £45.88 is also very reasonable, working out at £3.82 for each month's use. Options include per-app VPN routing, automatic connection when you go onto a public Wi-Fi network and a kill switch. The mobile apps share the key features of their desktop counterparts, although iOS users are, as usual, restricted to the IKEv2 connection protocol. But if you're on a newer distro and don't want to fix it yourself, using OpenVPN profiles either via GUI or the command line is arguably easier. Protocol switching – including to the Chameleon protocol – is just as simple. Once installed, the client is extremely easy to use: just tell it which country you want to connect to. We had to manually modify the Linux command line application's system service file to get it working on Ubuntu 18.04 – it's easy, but an annoying oversight on Vypr's part. You can also choose your preferred VPN protocol – OpenVPN is used by default, but other options include L2TP/IPsec, lightweight and low-security PPTP and Vypr's own obfusticating Chameleon protocol – a worthwhile option if you'll be travelling to countries or connecting to networks that block VPNs. Fine-grained VPN connection settings are available – which you generally won't want to touch – and to help with troubleshooting and security you can choose what logs are taken and disable the sending back of anonymous feature use data to Vypr. If you want to select a specific geographic endpoint, an extra window opens with a searchable list.Īn options window lets you enable features including automatic startup and reconnection and a kill switch that'll immediately cut off all internet traffic, to protect your privacy if the VPN disconnects unexpectedly. The main window shows your selected protocol, key settings, a traffic graph, and a button to quickly connect to the fastest or your last used endpoint. The Windows desktop client isn't quite as polished as some of its rivals, but keeps everything you need readily to hand. If you need to connect anything else, OpenVPN profiles and configuration instructions are available for a wide range of other devices. Desktop clients are available for Windows and macOS, along with a Linux command line client, apps for iOS and Android, as well as a selection of routers and NAS devices. ![]()
