Unknown Speaker 0:00 How's it going, everybody? Welcome back. And
today we're gonna be taking a look at the best VPN for loping gaming. Now we have a
few VPNs here, express Nord and surf shark. If you're interested in any of these, you'll
find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below, feel free to
take advantage of those as they may not be available in the original websites. So ideally,
you don't really want to use a VPN, really, when it comes to gaming, okay, it's going
to drop your Ping. And if you know, if you don't, if you're not having any sort of particular
issues, with your gaming experience, for whatever reason, you don't really have to be using
a VPN. But there are some VPNs for example, like Express Nord and surf shark that provide
you with a low enough ping, that, you know, it's actually playable, you can actually play
games using a VPN. So there's not much issue there, especially with consistent, very consistent
Unknown Speaker 0:58 VPN quality VPNs, like ExpressVPN and Nord.
Unknown Speaker 1:04 While surf shark might be a great alternative,
if you want, if you want to kind of not really compromise on any kind of quality or consistency,
you want to go with Nord and express, but that doesn't mean that surf shark is not a
great option. And you'll see in just a second, I'll be showing you guys a couple of pink
tests. And you'll see for yourselves that these these, these are all great VPS and it
just depends on what are you looking for in a VPN. Now, again, ideally, you don't want
to use a VPN when it comes to gaming, but some games could be banned. And a lot of countries,
you know, countries like like China, Turkey,
Unknown Speaker 1:40 maybe maybe some countries in the Middle East
as well. They ban a bunch of games like pub G, I think, possibly war zone, and a few other
br games and you know, maybe some other countries, maybe some games are actually region locked,
you know, Black Desert online used to be region locked. So if there's some kind of like, other
game that you're trying to play, but isn't available in your own region, you could use
a VPN to play it to play that game.
Unknown Speaker 2:07 Maybe you want to access markets, you know,
that's another reason you want to access foreign markets to get discounts on games.
Unknown Speaker 2:15 So there are quite a few reasons you could
use a VPN when it comes to gaming, not just actually gaming, you know, but if you want
to game using a VPN, these three v bands are absolutely great. Okay, so I'm just gonna,
I'm gonna connect to the same country and show you guys the results. Okay, usually I
do get, you know, when I do play games, when I connect to a server, let's say I'm playing
on Warzone, okay, I'm playing Call of Duty or Rainbow Six or anything like that. I'm
connecting to the my nearest servers, and that's going to be the European servers. So,
you know, my ping would average are at about, you know, between 50 and 60, at worst, really.
So, which is pretty playable, really, 50 ping is fine. It's not ideal, but it is what it
is, you know, I'm located in Lebanon, and I don't, I don't really have the, I don't
really have any kind of game servers near me. So usually, I just play with the European
crowd. And it's actually pretty playable, for the most part, really, not really playing
any anything competitive. So it's fine. I mean, if I can play Tekken online, which requires
the most amount of reflexes and quick reactions, I can play first person shooters, so yeah,
now, I'm going to connect using open VPN, when it comes to express their lightweight
protocol is great for streaming. And, okay, when it comes to differences between these
VPNs and priorities, and kind of, you know, depending on your own priorities and situation,
you might want to pick one over the other, you know, depending on your budget, and so
on and so forth. I'll talk about at the end of the video, but I just want to show you
guys kind of the ping results and what what what we could actually get from from these
VPNs in terms of ping really.
Unknown Speaker 4:05 So usually I do get great
Unknown Speaker 4:09 connection or great pink with Paris one the
pair's one server. And I'll be using the French server across the board here and Nord and
surf shark as well. But when it comes to protocols, I'm going to be using open VPN because liteway
while it may be quick, it's not actually as quick as open VPN, or at least not yet. This
is ExpressVPN is lightweight, I mean, wire guard based protocol. So yeah, it's not actually
as impressive as Nord or surf sharks wire wire guard protocols. So I'm going to be using
open VPN to keep up with Nord and surf shark. However, keep in mind that open VPN is the
most secure protocol known so far. So
Unknown Speaker 4:50 yeah, until we get a few upgrades in terms
of security on on the wire guard based protocols across the board on all the VB ends. I'll
be using
Unknown Speaker 5:00 Open VPN for security. But I'm not really
using it for security and express, I'm just using it for speed because it's just faster,
but just telling you that it is actually more secure. So I'm going to connect to France,
Paris.
Unknown Speaker 5:11 And I'm going to hit ookla here, okay, I'm
going to refresh, and go. So if you're looking for, generally a more secure kind of VPN,
you're going to want to go with Express Express is really the most secure, kind of in terms
of no logs policy. And, you know, the anonymity that they provide is really sort of the best
in the industry. If we're talking VPN, there are other ways to hide your IP address and
be more anonymous, like using a Tor browser, and stuff like that. But when it comes to
just using VPN, they really don't log anything. So I got 56 ping here. Okay, so I'm going
to refresh just to show you guys that, you know, it's it'll differ, it'll differ, you
know, depending on depending on the optimal server that ookla finds here.
Unknown Speaker 6:04 Now, you might game and get lower ping, you
might get higher bang, depending, you know, on the game servers are connecting to, but
just showing you generally, what the results are like. So you know, 5556, and that's just
the you know, that's,
Unknown Speaker 6:22 that's the results here. So
Unknown Speaker 6:25 11, point 21, for downloads, and I'm gonna
let this finish so that, because if I turn it off, as soon as you give me an error, I
want to keep this for record, so I can show it to you guys later. And compare it with
the other VPN. So you know, we have an average of 55 ping here, right? So this is pretty
playable. Not bad at all. Okay.
Unknown Speaker 6:45 I'm going to disconnect and connect to the
French server right here.
Unknown Speaker 6:53 Right here. Where's the French server? There
we go. So the French server in Nord VPN, and for Nord VPN, I'm going to be using the fastest
protocol here, which is going to be Nord links. Nord links, is there a wire guard based protocol.
Unknown Speaker 7:10 Not as secure as open VPN, but we're not talking
security. Today, we're talking Ping. So I'm gonna give it a go. And I'm going to refresh
it twice every time. So okay, the first time I got 56, I'm going to refresh it one more
time and see what we get the next time.
Unknown Speaker 7:30 For Nord, and nor does the kind of VPN you
want to get if you're, if you have a bit of a lower budget, and you don't want to really
sacrifice on quality Oh, so this time, we got actually 58 ping, that's very interesting.
If you don't want to sacrifice on much quality, and you still want to kind of get a VPN that
has a lot of features,
Unknown Speaker 7:52 including peer to peer servers, custom DNS,
dedicated IP, but only with open VPN split tunneling kill switch, and you know, the whole,
Unknown Speaker 8:03 the whole kind of features, the bunch of features
that you get with premium VPN, except that Nord VPN gives you a couple of extra features.
Whereas ExpressVPN might be a little bit more basic, but they're focusing on the best performance
that you can get, you know, you still get a kill switch, you still get split tunneling,
and you get this option where you know, only use ExpressVPN DNS servers while connected
which kind of forces the Express VPN DNS on to your device so that it prevents any data
from leaking. And it enhances performance, of course.
Unknown Speaker 8:35 So yeah, that's kind of their own
Unknown Speaker 8:39 security measure slash obfuscation
Unknown Speaker 8:44 sort of guarantee so we get 50. So first time
we got 56. Now we got 58 for Nord. Now, I'm going to show you what we're going to get
let me disconnect here from Nord.
Unknown Speaker 9:00 And this is kind of going to reflect the same
Unknown Speaker 9:06 when it comes to gaming.
Unknown Speaker 9:09 So we're going to be using the wire guard
protocol.
Unknown Speaker 9:14 And, yeah, we're good locations connect to
Paris.
Unknown Speaker 9:22 And give it a go again, to be fair, I'm going
to give it a couple of refreshes. First time we're going to get 56. The second time we
will be getting
Unknown Speaker 9:32 I suspect we'll get even lower 53 There you
go. See now surf shark is actually surprisingly great when it comes to kind of providing you
a good ping there. Wire guard protocol is very, very impressive. So if you're looking
for the ultimate kind of budget VPN, surf shark is absolutely great because surf shark
is going to cost you a fraction
Unknown Speaker 10:00 Have what Express VPN and Nord VPN costs,
it could be at times, it could be slower, actually. But in this case, express VPN gave
us the slowest speed, because it's we're not using a wire guard protocol. But again,
Unknown Speaker 10:16 if your priority is top top security, security
and just the best encryption in the industry, you're going to want to go with ExpressVPN.
If your priority is having a bunch of features, while paying a little less, and by the way,
you can only secure five devices per per subscription with Express, that'll be six devices with
Nord and surf shark, which I think is their ultimate selling point really is unlimited
devices, you can secure an unlimited amount of devices with one subscription, which is
great, really. So
Unknown Speaker 10:51 that's, that's just great for people that
want a great VPN that really just does the job and has a lot of has a lot packed into
it really, you still get double VPN, which is multi hop, you get static IP, you get a
kill switch, you get split tunneling, a in an ad blocker, a no borders mode, and an extra
protocol here for security, which is the shadow Sox, excuse me, and advanced, which is the
shadow Sox protocol, which you can combine with no borders mode, if you're living in
a strict country, like China, for example, or something like that. So yeah, that'll give
you extra obfuscation. And yeah, so here are the results, which, you know, you've got 53
ping with surf shark 58. With Nord, surprisingly, I thought it give us a little bit better.
But there are a lot of days, it could give you like 5556. And it's the same with ExpressVPN,
by the way, you still get, you can still get 5352 54 A times, it also depends on the server
you're connecting to. So
Unknown Speaker 12:01 here, when I do the refresh, when I refresh
on ookla, it's actually switching servers. So check it out here, we're in Nate ways,
this is the server, and here it's
Unknown Speaker 12:14 network Telecom. And here, it's s, s, s, the
ROI, riona, something like that. So every time these are all different servers. So you
know, it could have just happened that
Unknown Speaker 12:30 that this server happens to be maybe the the
the closest to me, or, or the most optimal, or the one with the least load. So you know,
you have to kind of keep that in mind as well. But as you can see, these are all great VPNs
for gaming, while using the VPN while keeping it on. So while it may drop your VPN, for
me, for example, this is already the ping that I get this is that when I'm when I'm
gaming on Rainbow Six, or something like that, I'm not getting like five Ms. when when when
gaming, this is already the kind of ping that I'm getting. So these VPNs are really just
raising my ping by like, one or two or three, or at worst five or six ms in North case here.
So it's really not that big of a deal. Especially if you're not like playing competitively.
You just want to get access to a game and you know, move on with playing your games
really.
Unknown Speaker 13:30 So yeah, that'll that'll be it. Again, to
kind of reiterate if your priority is utmost security, you know, go with Express, it's
a premium service comes with a premium pricing with premium pricing. Nord comes with a bunch
of extra features with a few bucks, kind of you're saving a few bucks
Unknown Speaker 13:54 monthly with their with their two year plan
that the problem is you have to stick with the two year plan with Nord. If you don't
want to stick with the two year plan. Yeah, express just gives you that one year plan
as well as surf shark. You know, if you want to get the cheaper, really cheap
Unknown Speaker 14:09 kind of service, you have to stick with the
two year plan or three year plan in this case, I think
Unknown Speaker 14:14 it depends on which, you know, whatever offers
they have going on at the moment. So yeah.
Unknown Speaker 14:20 Overall, they're all great VPNs. And again,
Nord will give you a bunch of extra features and just great quality. Surf shark is the
ultimate budget VPN, if you're interested in just getting the job done with you know,
questionable, no locks policy, to say the least. So in terms of security, I would definitely
rank Express at the top than Nord than surf shark but when it comes to performance, you
know, if we're talking solely ping, it's kind of you know, it's it's in between Express
and surf shark. If we're using
Unknown Speaker 15:00 Using open VPN and express and wire guard
and surf shark, if I use open VPN and surf shark, it's not going to give me that great
of results. But with wire guard protocol, it really makes the difference. So yeah, in
terms of speed, though, express and Nord are going to be the most consistent when it comes
to speed, especially if you're using open VPN protocols. So yeah, that'll be it for
this video. I hope it helped you one way or another. If you're interested in any of these
VPNs make sure to check the description down below I'll be sure to include some offers
and special deals to help you guys maybe save some more money hopefully, if you have any
questions, let me know in the comments below. And I'll see you guys in the next one. Have
