Setup checklist

Get faster, steadier results

Follow these focused steps, run a fresh speed test, and compare the numbers against your goals.

Expect 10–30% speed loss; aim for 50–150 Mbps download for smooth browsing and HD streaming.
Latency may rise by 20–40 ms—keep total ping under 80 ms for real-time apps.
Upload should stay above 10 Mbps for file syncing and video calls through VPN.

Connect to the nearest VPN gateway and test both WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols.
Switch to split tunneling for streaming apps to reduce congestion while keeping work apps secured.
Use Ethernet or Wi-Fi 6 to minimize local bottlenecks before your traffic hits the VPN tunnel.

Run SwiftSpeedTest with VPN on and off to compare baseline vs. encrypted throughput.
If VPN speeds are much lower, change gateway regions and retest during non-peak hours.
Document download, upload, and latency deltas to show your IT team or provider.

Retest and log improvements

Run SwiftSpeedTest after each change. Note the download, upload, and latency shifts to lock in better performance.
