how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm bringing you guys three of the best vpns for
gaming and now i've tested over a couple dozen vpns and these have been just the best overall
you know the criteria was of course performance security features uh strict no logs policies
and of course great ping for gaming now you know a lot of people may not exactly use a vpn for gaming
because they think a vpn will increase your ping when gaming now in most cases that is true but
there are cases when that is actually not true and a vpn will in fact improve your ping uh and
it will give you ping that's better than your base ping and i'll show you guys an example of that in
just a second but before we get if you guys are interested in any of these vpns i'll find these
special deals and discounts in the description down below as well as full reviews if you'd like
to learn more about these vpns of course you don't only use a vpn for gaming you know a lot
of you guys i know may not really be interested in using or keeping a vpn on while gaming maybe
you're trying to access some games that may be banned in your country or perhaps you are looking
for better deals because you are able to do that with a vpn you can just change your location to
a different country and perhaps get better deals a lot in a lot of cases people save
a whole lot of money by just switching their regions to other countries where uh pricing may
be just a little bit different and you end up saving a whole lot of money on games all right
now let me just show you guys i'll talk about the features of these vpns and which one could be the
best choice for you right after i show you the speed results here the ping results rather and i
use this uh meter.net a forward slash ping dash test for slash this is a great website to test
out ping instead of having to go to uh you know just logging in and out of the game servers uh
trying to test my ping this is a great way to test ping okay now i have tested my base ping
here and i'm using the same servers and if you can if you look at the url i change the url just
so that you know which vpns i'm testing so all right now i have tested my base ping using the
uh french server and by the way i am in the front i'm in the european region rather somewhere around
there without really disclosing how do i disclose my relocation but either way the uh ping here
without any uh vpn connections uh it's at 70 71 and 71 connected to the french server and
i'm connected to the same server so if you just look up friends here so it's edis.ad and it's the
same thing here with uh you'll notice that it is global so it is i'm using the same server to make
sure that everything is as accurate as possible so without a vpn it's 70 71 and 70. when connected to
expressvpn's french server it's a 72.5 75 and 74. when connected to nord it's 85 89 and 86
and one connected to surf shark it's 73 80 and 80.5 so for the french server express takes the
crown here followed by surf shark and then nord okay now when i connected to the new york server
uh of course that's pretty far for me so 143 145 and 143 however when i connected to the new
york server of express vpn of course naturally um because i'm in the european region i'm not going
to get that good of a ping with new york because you know there's an entire ocean in between
but when i'm connected to the vpn server that is close to the server right here which is the server
from meter.net i'll actually get better ping so it actually lowered my ping and consistently so
140 140 and 141 this is a trick to get better ping this is the this is the trick to get better
paying when using a vpn in gaming is to connect to the vpn server that's closest to your game
server that's how you lower your ping okay now when connected to nordvpn 144.5 143 and 143.5 so
not really there isn't really any change uh so yeah that's probably because the expressvpn server
is closer to the vaulter.net server here okay and finally with surf shark 136 136 and 135
impressively so we got the best thing right here and that is most likely because uh the uh the surf
shark server that i connected to is closest to the new york vaulter.net server uh with a meter the
the website itself so this is pretty much how you lower your ping just make sure that your look up
your gaming server and if your gaming server is in new york then connect to new york so yeah that's
pretty much it just make sure that your gaming server is close to your vpn server preferably in
the same state or country all right now how do you know which one of these vpns is the best choice
for you by your express nord or surf shark well it depends on your needs so expressvpn will have
over 3 000 servers in 94 countries and of course you will be able to secure up to five devices per
subscription and overall it's a premium service that is super easy to use and uh yeah it'll be
just a great choice overall especially if you're looking to unblock your restrictions and streaming
services and with regards to security features you get a handful of protocols i like to stick
to lightweight udp which is the best performing protocol uh you also have your basic features
such as the kill switch and split tunneling the kill switch will stop your internet traffic at the
vpn disconnects unexpectedly which will prevent any leaks from happening if the vpn disconnects
without you noticing which is pretty rare by the way uh and split telling
will allow to choose which applications are routed through the vpn and which are not so
let's say i want to use my i want to secure my entire connection but i don't want my steam to
be affected or vice versa i could just select my let's just go to steam for example all right
steam and steam exe and we are good to go now my vpn will secure my connection except for steam and
of course i can just do the opposite right here where my entire connection is untouched by the
vpn tunnel except for a selected application and it can be steam or whatever my torrenting client
whatever it is that i pick i can pick multiple if i want so it's a great feature uh that can be
very useful uh and you can see how clearly okay so that's it for expressvpn but if you're looking for
something with extra features such as specialty servers the powerful nord links protocol which
will give you the fastest speeds out of all these vpns you get cybersec not not that much faster by
the way i would say you know lynx is about 10 percent faster than expressvpn and about 15
10 to 15 percent faster than uh surf shark but yeah all these vpns are uh very high performance
vpns overall okay and you get cybersec which is the ad blocker a conventional kill switch just
like express vpn and also an amp kill switch to close selected apps when you disconnect from the
vpn or the connection drops uh unexpectedly rather than disconnecting your entire connection as it is
with the conventional kill switch split tunneling uh and an easy way to change dns with custom dns
as well as obfuscated servers if you're in a censorship-heavy country and speaking of
obfuscation you don't need to mess with that in expressvpn thanks to the advanced proprietary
obfuscation technology of expressvpn which makes it the best vpn if if you're in a censorship heavy
country uh like china for example where the great firewall of china poses as just a great hindrance
to the chinese people or anybody residing in china due to the high level of censorship in china and
with nordvpn you have over 5200 servers in 60 countries so make sure that your countries the
countries that you're looking for are available in north vpn because north vpn has 34 less countries
than expressvpn 60 is still a whole lot by the way as you can tell it's you know covering almost the
entire globe but you know just make sure that the countries you're looking for are available
in north vpn okay and or vpn will allow to secure up to six devices per subscription so that's one
more device than expressvpn but if you're looking to secure an unlimited number of devices this is
where surfshark comes in handy you're not exactly going to be even though it's a very cheap and
budget-friendly vpn especially when you're going for the two-year plan uh you still get specialty
servers you're getting plenty of features here so you're going to get clean web which is the ad
blocker the kill switch a handful of protocols as well as bypasser which is the same as split
telling but with the addition of the ability to have certain websites and ip addresses bypass the
vpn tunnel and of course you get rotating it in orders mode to help you if you're in a sense ship
heavy country no numbers mode will just help you uh bypass censorship firewalls and rotating ip is
a new feature that allows you to rotate your ip address while your vpn location stays the same
which can help you if you're in a sense ship heavy country to cover up your tracks especially
if you're in an authoritarian country okay and of course with surf shark you're getting over
300 servers in 65 countries so five more servers then ignore the vpn okay so that'll be it for this
