So when you connect to Hotspot Shield's network, you're making a connection through the app running on your device to their network location in, say, India. VPNs do sometimes remove some of the hops a normal connection would take. It is important to note that our proprietary protocol is focused only on the performance of the VPN data transport, while using standard encryption with perfect forward secrecy. Many carriers such as Telefonica and KDDI also use Catapult Hydra to provide VPN services and Wi-Fi security to their customers, due to Hydra's superior performance and reliability. How is this possible?įor a few of the connections, ping speed improved along with download speed while using Hotspot Shield.
If you're sending a packet across the planet, it will take longer to hear back than if you're sending a packet across town. The lag limitations here are due to actual physics. Ping speed is an indication of how quickly a response gets back after a network request is sent from your computer. Are they high enough to do the work you need to do? The real numbers you should look at are the download speed and the ping speed.
After all, you're running all your packets through an entirely artificial infrastructure designed to hide your path. When you use a VPN service, it's natural for performance to drop. Baseline download speed without VPN (higher is better)ĭownload speed with VPN (higher is better)
