Fastest VPN Services of 2014
June 27, 2014 By
We recently tested the speeds of several of our top VPN services. You can see some of the fastest results below. In the future we will be switching from Speedtest.net over to another solution. The reason being that speedtest.net can give inaccurate results based on data compression. We’re considering TestMy.net or SpeedOf.me for our next round of testing. If you have any other suggestions please let us know @VPNSP.
We use a number of leading VPN services on a regular basis. Testing their speed and reliability at different times of the day, week and month. Then every so often we go crazy and test the speed of several server locations for our top providers. In a moment we’ll show you how some leading VPN companies performed. We’ll guide you through the highlights of our testing along with links to the full set of results for each service.
Let’s jump right into the VPN speed tests. We tested each VPN service using an OpenVPN UDP connection.
IPVanish – Top Speed 45.08 Mbps
We’ll start with speed test results for IPVanish along with the bandwidth provider for each location:
- Atlanta – Highwinds Networking Group – 45.08 Mbps
- Chicago – Highwinds Networking Group – 31.56 Mbps
- Los Angeles – Bandcon – 30.02 Mbps
- Toronto – 1651884 – 32.99 Mbps
- London – Eweka Internet Services – 27.53 Mbps
- Amsterdam - Eweka Internet Services – 31.75 Mbps
IPVanish offers logless, fast VPN access from their network of 130+ VPN servers in 58 countries (full list) along with support for OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP connections. They have a free VPN client for Windows and Mac along with a nice Android app. Enjoy unlimited VPN from just $5.20 a month.
Hide My Ass – Top Speed 31.76 Mbps
Let’s take a look at the speed test results for Hide My Ass along with the bandwidth provider for each location:
- Atlanta - Nobis Technology Group – 31.76 Mbps
- Chicago – FDC Servers – 10.99 Mbps
- Los Angeles – Quadranet– 30.99 Mbps
- Toronto – Amanah Tech – 21.45 Mbps
- London – UK Dedicated Servers – 25.60 Mbps
- Amsterdam – Swiftway SP – 27.95 Mbps
Hide My Ass is interesting as their custom VPN client has some great features but it doesn’t currently support UDP connections. Without using UDP we get slower speeds on their network. For the best performance I installed the open source OpenVPN client and grabbed the config files from the HMA site. They make it pretty easy to set up. Here’s a link to learn more. You can just grab the server locations you want to use.
Hide My Ass offers unlimited VPN access from 630+ VPN servers located in 75 countries (full list) along with support for OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP connections. With their free HMA Pro VPN client and a number of enhanced features. Enjoy unlimited VPN access from just $6.55 a month.
VPN4ALL – Top Speed 39.14 Mbps
Now let’s review the speed test results for VPN4ALL along with the bandwidth provider for each location:
- Atlanta - Nobis Technology Group – 39.14 Mbps
- Chicago – FDC Servers – 33.56 Mbps
- Los Angeles – Network Operations Center – 32.45 Mbp
- Toronto – Amanah Tech – 24.01 Mbps
- London – Iomart Hosting Limited – 25.01 Mbps
- Amsterdam – Leaseweb B. V. – 31.31 Mbps
VPN4ALL offers unlimited VPN access from 64 VPN server locations in 32 countries (full list) along with support for OpenVPN and PPTP. VPN4ALL offers an easy to use Windows client along with free iOS and Android apps. Enjoy VPN access from just $5.95 a month.
As you might imagine testing every server location can take a long time. Especially with services like IPVanish HMA and VPN4ALL that have large networks. If we notice any performance issues this page will be immediately updated. Otherwise we will update our test results every few months. Bookmark this page for the latest results.

Thanks for the comparison. I was about to ask how come you don't use speedof.me for your test but I read that you will be using it. That would be even better!

I’ve used StrongVPN for 2 years. If there’s an issue, I can contact them (even without the vpn running) and they fix it immediately. I’m not tech savvy but I can use this one with no problem.
