The VPN Testing Authority
We test what VPNs claim - speed, leaks, encryption, and kill switch reliability - and publish the raw numbers.
Our Mission
VPNMeter exists because most VPN reviews are paid promotions. Affiliate commissions drive recommendations, not actual testing. We built this platform to change that.
Every test on VPNMeter runs directly in your browser - no accounts, no downloads, no tracking. We measure what matters and show you the raw results.
What We Test
IP & DNS Leaks
We check if your real IPv4, IPv6, and DNS resolver are exposed even with your VPN active.
Speed
Real download, upload, ping, and jitter measurements - not synthetic benchmarks.
Encryption
TLS version, cipher suite, HSTS, mixed content - graded A through F.
Kill Switch
We monitor your IP in real time. Disconnect your VPN to see if your kill switch actually works.
WebRTC Leaks
Browsers can expose your real IP via WebRTC even when connected to a VPN.
Fingerprinting
Advanced sites can identify you through your browser's unique fingerprint - regardless of VPN.
Our Principles
- ✓No affiliate links - we do not earn commission from VPN providers.
- ✓No data collection - all tests run locally in your browser. We do not store your IP or results.
- ✓Open methodology - our test logic is documented and transparent.
- ✓No fake results - every score you see is generated by your own browser in real time.
