¿Cómo pruebo la velocidad y rendimiento de la VPN?

Testing your VPN speed is a great way to make sure you’re getting the best experience, especially if you’re trying to stream, download, or just curious how your connection compares with and without NymVPN.

A quick speed or latency test helps you understand how the network is performing and whether you might want to switch to a different gateway/location for better performance.

Quick ping test (using command-line)

A ping test checks how long it takes for data to travel to and from a server. Here’s how to run one to test NymVPN’s responsiveness:

1. Connect to NymVPN.
   Open your NymVPN app and connect to your desired node or location.

2. Open your computer’s terminal or command prompt.

   • On Windows: Press Win + R, type cmd, then hit Enter.

   • On macOS or Linux: Open Terminal from Applications or Spotlight.

3. Run a ping command to Nym’s website: ping nym.com

Full speed test

To measure your download and upload speed, use an online testing tool like: http://speedtestv4.tools.uebi.net

Steps:

1. Connect to NymVPN.
   Choose the server location you want to test.

2. Open the speed test link above.
   Wait a few seconds while it checks your connection.

3. Review your results.
   You’ll see three main numbers:

   • Ping (ms): Measures delay (lower is better).

   • Download (Mbps): How fast you receive data.

   • Upload (Mbps): How fast you send data.

You can choose to repeat this with a few different nodes to see which one gives you the best performance for your region or use case.
