For these who choose to take a look at their web speed, the solution they typically resort to is Speedtest.net. But Ookla, the organization behind the famous service, desires to spread its reach in other areas - specifically in the VPN market. Ookla has started rolling out a new free VPN service for its users. The Speedtest VPN can be accessed proper from the Android and iOS apps. However, PC users will have to keep their horses for now.
Just like other VPN services, the employer factors toward its zero logs coverage when someone asks whether Speedtest VPN will log their internet activity. It assigns shareable IP addresses from a pool of over 40,000 addresses to anonymize the user’s identity. Ookla has partnered with the Seattle-based enterprise Net Protect to provide the VPN service, which already manages the infrastructure for leading providers, such as IPVanish, Encrypt.me, etc.
To use Ookla’s free VPN, make sure the Android or iOS Speedtest app is updated on your device.
You find the VPN choice (with padlock icon) at the bottom of the Speedtest app. Tap on the toggle button and follow the steps to create the Speedtest VPN profile on your device. Now, the Speedtest VPN is free, but it only gives you 2GB of bandwidth to devour each and every month. Also, if you operate a net speed check while connected to the VPN, it’ll matter closer to your data cap.
Use Speedtest by way of Ookla for an easy, one-tap connection internet overall performance and speed check - accurate anywhere thanks to our massive global server network.
Millions of people have made Speedtest the #1 tool for trying out internet speeds, and it’s depended on every day through gurus in the course of the industry:
Ookla says it will also offer a paid tier once its VPN service comes out of beta.
