VPN Speed Test: How Fast Is Aultra VPN? (Real Results)

One of the biggest concerns about VPNs is speed. Will it slow down your internet? We ran real speed tests to find out.

Test Setup

• Connection: 500 Mbps fiber
• Location: United States
• Device: Android phone
• Protocols tested: WireGuard® and OpenVPN

Speed Test Results

Without VPN (Baseline) - Download: 487 Mbps - Upload: 456 Mbps - Ping: 8ms

With Aultra VPN (WireGuard®) - Nearest Server - Download: 463 Mbps (95% of baseline) - Upload: 441 Mbps (97% of baseline) - Ping: 12ms

With Aultra VPN (OpenVPN) - Nearest Server - Download: 312 Mbps (64% of baseline) - Upload: 287 Mbps (63% of baseline) - Ping: 18ms

With Aultra VPN (WireGuard®) - Distant Server - Download: 298 Mbps (61% of baseline) - Upload: 267 Mbps (59% of baseline) - Ping: 89ms

Key Findings

WireGuard® Is Significantly Faster WireGuard maintained 95% of the original speed on nearby servers, while OpenVPN dropped to about 64%. For most users, WireGuard is the clear choice.

Distance Matters Connecting to a nearby server gives much better speeds than a distant one. Always choose the closest server unless you need a specific location.

Still Fast Enough for Everything Even on distant servers, speeds were fast enough for: - 4K streaming (requires ~25 Mbps) - Video calls (requires ~5 Mbps) - Online gaming (ping matters more than speed) - Large downloads (still hundreds of Mbps)

Tips for Maximum Speed

1. Use WireGuard® – It's faster than OpenVPN
2. Connect to nearby servers – Less distance = more speed
3. Use 5GHz Wi-Fi – Faster than 2.4GHz
4. Close background apps – They consume bandwidth
5. Try different servers – Some may be less crowded

Does a VPN Slow Down Internet?

Yes, slightly. But with WireGuard®, the difference is barely noticeable. The 5% speed loss is worth the privacy and security benefits.

Can a VPN Make Internet Faster?

Sometimes, yes! If your ISP throttles certain traffic (like streaming), a VPN can bypass this throttling and actually improve speeds.

Conclusion

Aultra VPN with WireGuard® is fast enough for any activity. Most users won't notice any slowdown in daily use.
