AV-Test, the independent institute for IT security, regularly tests which VPNs currently perform best. The institute from Magdeburg tests usability, operating system compatibility, server location, upload and download speeds, security, transparency and many other categories. Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection beat the competition for the third time in a row in 2022.
What is a VPN?
Anyone who goes on the Internet via a VPN, i.e. a Virtual Private Network, benefits at best from absolute anonymity. It is known that most Internet providers collect the data of their users, for example to be able to place targeted advertising. This can be avoided with a VPN.
But not every VPN is the same. The services of the providers differ. Especially when it comes to download speeds and streaming. An important aspect, because many use VPN services to be able to watch films undisturbed.
As a rule, VPNs slow down the speed of uploads and downloads. This has a technical background and is more or less the price that users have to pay if they want to go anonymously on the internet. In the best case, however, this loss of speed is so minimal that nobody noticed it. For example with the Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection.
The best ping
Anyone who likes to play online games via a VPN attaches great importance to responsiveness. This so-called latency or ping time must not be too slow, otherwise the character in the game may react too late and – lose. AV-Test also tested the VPNs in this respect and Kaspersky was able to assert itself again: The average latency time was 5.3 milliseconds. In comparison, the Norton Secure VPN: 13 milliseconds.

And that with practically all operating systems. Because a good VPN should be able to operate all systems that customers want to use. The Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection uses an OpenVPN protocol and can therefore be used on Linux, ChromeOS, AndroidTV and FireTV alike.
In addition, Kaspersky was able to show impeccable data leak resistance in all security tests. The main competitor – Norton Secure VPN – showed a DNS leak in the same tests when reconnecting and even briefly exposed the DNS queries of the device used.
No more data than necessary
Data is also collected with VPNs. This is unavoidable. Here it is important that the providers process as little data as possible. And when it comes to transparency and confidentiality, Kaspersky was able to convince the test experts from AV-Test: Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection does not collect more data than necessary and uses the highest industry standards to secure this data.
This makes Kaspersky’s VPN solution stand out among all the tested solutions. It takes first place in most of the tested categories and convinces with an excellent speed for uploads and downloads with an extremely low latency. So it’s no surprise that Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection has been awarded the “Approved Virtual Private Network Solution” seal.
