I tested my internet connection with and without NordLayer VPN to compare speed using Cloudflare’s new tool. Here are the results.
| NordLayer | Home | |
|---|---|---|
| Download | 40.7 Mbps | 80.5 Mbps |
| Upload | 13.4 Mbps | 16.6 Mbps |
| Latency | 89.1 ms | 21.1 ms |
| Jitter | 4.41 ms | 3.33 ms |
| Packet Loss | 0% | 0% |
| Video Streaming | Average | Average |
| Online Gaming | Average | Poor |
| Video Chatting | Good | Average |
There’s quite a large drop in download speed and increase in latency when using the VPN which is to be expected.
