Test Your Connection Speed
Measure your download speed right here in the browser — no app, no third-party service, and nothing uploaded. Then see what the number actually means for using a VPN.

How this speed test works
The widget above downloads a small image from this website several times in a row, with browser caching disabled so every pass travels the full network path, and averages the throughput into a megabits-per-second estimate. Because everything stays between your browser and globexvpn.com, the test involves no third-party speed-test company, no upload of your data, and no stored results.
That design has an honest trade-off: a short test with a small file is a sanity check, not a laboratory benchmark. Your reading will bounce around between runs — that is normal for any speed test, and it is exactly why the most useful way to use this page is comparative: same device, same network, one measurement with your VPN off and one with it on.
What actually affects VPN speed
Every VPN adds some overhead: your traffic is encrypted and takes an extra hop through the VPN server before reaching the internet. How much that costs you depends on three things. First, distance — a server on another continent adds latency that no protocol can remove. Second, server load — a congested server is slow for everyone on it. Third, the protocol — on networks that interfere with VPN traffic, the "fastest" protocol on paper is often the one that stalls, and a censorship-resistant protocol that actually establishes cleanly ends up faster in practice.
That third point is where GLOBEX VPN focuses. The app connects over 8 protocols, including IKEv2, Shadowsocks, V2Ray/Reality, Hysteria2, and OpenVPN, and works through them automatically until one establishes and performs on your network — which matters most on restrictive networks that block ordinary VPN traffic. And one thing is true on every plan: the free tier has unlimited bandwidth with no speed cap tied to payment. Premium adds priority server access, not a faster engine. If your speeds look wrong, our FAQ covers common fixes, or you can browse server locations to pick a closer region.
