how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm bringing you guys a pink test for uh you
gamers out there with nordvpn and surf shark in order to hopefully figure out which one could
be the best choice for you so before we get in if you guys are interested in any of these vpns
you'll find the special deals and discounts the description down below as well as full reviews
if you'd like to learn more about these vpns so getting straight into it now i went ahead and
tested uh well roughly the same servers i tested the uk server and the italian server in both
vpns northern surf shark and uh using this website which tends to be a pretty good website to
measure ping and latency without having to go into games this usually gives me a very accurate
approximation of what my in-game ping would be like and do note that i have been testing the same
server so if let's say we go to italy i mean in this website there's only one italian server that
to be tested uh it's uh yeah e-d-i-s dot at number one so as you can tell it's always the one that uh
it being tested here and it's the same with the uk one i always tested the same one right here which
is vps.net and it's just the same thing everywhere anyways i also kind of uh made it so that you guys
could tell which one is being tested so nordvpn you'll notice that oh actually i forgot to do
let's just do this so that you guys can at least tell which one we're looking at here so
starting with the italian server and of course keep in mind that these tests might vary depending
on your location uh the distance between you and the server you're connecting to which game server
you're connecting to which game you're playing whether or not that game has dedicated servers
your own connection speed and ping and a few other factors that could affect your latency and keep in
mind to keep your ping at a minimum while using a vpn because obviously when using a vpn you're
routing your connection through a server that's not nearby so it's going to decrease your speed
and increase your ping as a result what you could do is for example let's say you're playing warzone
and let's say there is you want to locate your
game servers so do your research let's say the warzone server is located in the uk what
you want to do is make sure that the vpn server you're connected to is as close as it can be to
the game server itself in order to minimize ping so if the warzone server is in the uk you want
to connect to a vpn server that is also in the uk and i did not test any uh servers that are outside
my region here which is near the european region that's the region i usually connect to when i game
of course it really is no use if i uh connect to these states or far east no matter what you're
playing if you connect to such far regions you're going to get really bad ping and yeah there's just
no way around that so the best way you could get the best ping is stay within the same continent
so okay starting with my connection without a ping which is 6265 and 63 ms i did three tests for each
server here so without a vpn again we got 62 65 63 with nord vpn we've got 66 66 and 69 uh so
yeah i mean we have uh about a five to six seven uh ms increase here uh so yeah keep that in mind
while we move on to surf shark which gave us a nearly 10 ms increase at 74.5 75 and 76.
uh so yeah it seems like nordvpn does quite a bit better here with the milan server again i'm
always using the same server uh to get a more accurate result here and now moving on
to the uk server without a vpn uh it seems like i have a worse connection with uh the uk because
well it is actually farther away to me uh italia italy italy is definitely closer uh so the uk
with the uk i got 71 72 and 70. and with nordvpn connected i got 70 71 and 70 nearly the same as my
uh connection without a ping so yeah it seems like nordvpn's getting really good results closer to my
native ping so that's pretty good with uh surf shark it did a little bit better here actually
than the italian server so it could be that the italian surf shark server is just not well
adjusted but nonetheless uh we got good results here at 71 71 and 72 super close to my uh native
ping here so yeah overall you know i just wanted to give you guys a little bit of an approximation
of how your ping will be affected by these vpns both vpns are super quick really and you know
whether you choose nordvpn or surf shark it's up to you um if the budget is uh more to your liking
if the nord vpn extra features are something you're actually interested in maybe you want to be
able to scan a limited number of devices with surf shark rather than the six devices with nordvpn
um maybe you'd rather have more servers because with nordvpn have over 5100 servers unlike surf
sharks over 3 200 servers so yeah we've got 60 countries in north vpn 65 with surf shark
maybe you're looking for the ultimate budget vpn that just gets the job done at the cheapest
possible cost and you just want to go with surf shark uh it really is up to you i just wanted
to kind of bring you guys these results so that you can hopefully make a more educated decision
as to which vpn could be the best choice for you if you're interested in learning more about these
vpns in order to make that more of an educated decision of course you'll find reviews down below
