VPN Speed Test for iPhone — measure before you commit
FollowNet includes a Speed Test so you can compare download speed and latency on iOS with VPN on or off, and between server locations — before upgrading to Premium.
- Built into FollowNet — no third-party app
- Compare servers and protocols
- Useful on Free and Premium
- Run on iPhone and iPad
Why test VPN speed on iOS
Speed depends on your baseline network, server distance, and protocol. Testing on your actual Wi‑Fi and LTE helps set realistic expectations — especially for streaming and video calls on iPad.
How to use Speed Test in FollowNet
Open Speed Test from the app, run a baseline without VPN, then connect and test again. Try Smart Connect vs manual WireGuard or IKEv2 if results differ on your carrier.
FAQ
Will VPN always be slower?
Some overhead is normal due to encryption and server distance. A nearby server often minimizes the gap.
Which protocol is fastest?
Often WireGuard on good networks; your mileage varies — use Speed Test locally.
Does Speed Test use my data allowance?
Yes. Tests consume data like any download — keep that in mind on the free daily limit.
