how's it going everybody welcome back and a quick video just addressing if vpns can actually reduce
ping now i'll show you guys some results here but i want to just point one thing out now when it
comes to ping the thing about vpns reducing your ping most of the times they'll actually increase
your ping because people don't know this little tip and it is you should be connecting to the
vpn server that is closest to your game server so if you have if you're playing let's say i
don't know call of duty or something and your game server you know that your game server is
in berlin it's better to connect to a vpn server that's in berlin so that you can get the best ping
possible that's how you can actually get less ping or lower ping better latency whatever it
is that you want to call it so if you guys are interested by the way in any of these vpns these
are the top three vpns overall for privacy policy speed streaming tournament capabilities as well

so i tested my ping without a vpn i'm somewhere in the european region without a vpn
here it is it's at 80 81 and 83. so when testing it with the french server with expressvpn i got
83 82 83 so barely any change you know you could say it didn't really improve or worsen my ping
with nordvpn in this case it seems like the server the french server
is closer to the server of this website right here i'm using the same server
every time to test so even without a vpn i'm using this edis global france paris you know
across all the tests to make sure that it's just consistent and to show you guys that
maybe in this case most likely actually the nordvpn french server is closer to the website
server and that's why i have a better ping and when i tested it with surfshark it may even be
the case that the surf shark french server is even closer so that's why i have even better ping
so when i tested it with the german server again without a vpn i got a 68 67.5 and 80. and with um
expressvpn i've got an 81 80 and 89 which isn't necessarily that great but again it might be that
the german express vpn server is a little bit further away from the website server and that's
why with nordvpn we got a better result here 69 68 and 67 and with surf shark it seems like it's
a little bit further away maybe somewhere near the expressvpn server which is why i got similar
uh results with surfshark at 7879.5 and 79. so as you can tell here of course these vpns are super
high quality and you're going to get great results whether you're trying to unblock geo restrictions
or whatever it is that you're trying to do with these vpns they'll serve you very well but it
really is when it comes to ping it's all about distance so you want to connect to the server
that is closest the vpn server that is closest to your game server that is how you're going to
be getting the best ping results possible so it's up to you you know you've got expressvpn with over
3000 servers in 94 countries so that's a whole lot of locations um if you're not really caring
much about locations and you're located somewhere in europe or the united states you're gonna find
plenty of locations in all vpns but expressvpn does have a whole bunch more in south america
and a little bit more in the middle east in asia so this is where expressvpn gets these extra uh
countries you might be interested in that and especially if you're in a censorship-heavy country
go with expressvpn so nordvpn you have over 5000 400 servers in 60 countries and over 3 000 turner
servers in 65 countries with surf shark so it's up to you whether you want to go with one vpn
over the other it really depends on where you're looking for and your preferences at the end of the
