Auto server selection
Client software selects the best performance server automatically.
Auto reconnect
Whether the program reconnects automatically in the event of interruption.
Kill switch disconnection protection
Whether the user software can automatically stop the data transmissions if the VPN connection drops, preventing the transmission of data over an unsecured connection. A kill switch can work with specific apps (such as your browser) or stop all internet access system-wide. It usually has to be enabled by the user. A kill switch may auto re-connect after a drop-out, auto-run on Windows start-up, or auto-connect when the VPN app launches.
Stealth option in standard plan
Stealth mode allows the VPN to mask traffic so it appears as regular HTTPs traffic, to stop the VPN use being blocked. We look at whether this is available in the standard plan.
Performance score
Performance score is calculated from the VPN speed discrepancy – the difference in download speed between using the VPN compared to not using the VPN. Measurements are averaged from multiple tests. The reference measurement (download time without a VPN connection) is taken immediately before measurement with the VPN connected.
