VPN Speed Test
See your real download speed and latency — with or without your VPN active.
Run with your VPN on and off to compare speeds.
How much does a VPN slow you down?
All VPNs introduce some overhead due to encryption and routing. A well-built VPN typically reduces speeds by less than 10–15% on a fast connection. Older, heavier connections can reduce speeds by 30–50%.
CyberCat's Standard mode is built for everyday speed, so most users report speeds above 200 Mbps on a gigabit connection. Stealth mode is there when a network blocks or throttles a normal VPN — both come with every plan.
If your VPN connection is significantly slower than your baseline, try a geographically closer server, or switch between Standard and Stealth in the app.
