HMA VPN Review 2022
VPN creates virtual space for networking. It allows you to use the Internet anonymously and securely, wherever you are. A VPN protects through a tunnel encryption system that connects your computer to the Internet, Wi-Fi hotspots, and other networks. The essence of the VPN is to encrypt your Internet connection and replace the IP address (which identifies the device) with another.
Here we present the review on HMA VPN and answer the following questions:
- How quick this VPN download and upload speed?
- How well does it work on Netflix?
- How good is it for torrenting?
- Are there differences in these options for different regions?

Speed tests
After all, Internet traffic is redirected through the VPN server – in fact, this is an additional “stop”. Does this VPN slow down your internet speed, and if so, by how much?

Ping out test
Originally, the word “ping” referred to the sound of an impulse emitted by a sonar. In computer slang, this is a check of the quality of the connection in networks.
The word ping also refers to the time taken to transfer a small packet of data from the user to the server and from the server back to the user.
Most often used to determine the availability of a site, a server on the Internet. By the time of the ping, you can determine how “responsive” the connection to this server will be.
HMA ping speed, ms
Header Label | Americas | Europe | Asia Pacific |
Quickest | 230 (Cuba, Bahamas) | 184 (Italy) | 15.35 (Yemen) |
Slowest | 366 (Argentina, Uruguay) | 274 (Cyprus) | 467 (Papua New Guinea) |
Average | 278.91 | 236.1 | 319.09 |
No VPN connection | 20 | 20 | 20 |
HMA ping speed compared to other VPNs
Header label | Country | Ping |
Quickest | Yemen | 15.35 ms |
Slowest | Papua New Guinea | 467 ms |
Overall | All countries | 290.75 ms |
No VPN connection | All countries | 20 |
HMA ping speed compared to the industry average
Header Label | HMA | Other VPN avg | Difference |
Quickest | 15.35 (Yemen) | 65.83 ms | 49.12 times less |
Slowest | 467 (Papua New Guinea) | 65.83 ms | 5.60 times more |
Overall | 290.75 ms | 65.83 ms | 3.3 times more |
HMA is an outsider because the average ping exceeds the other VPNs 3.3 times.
DNS Leak Test
DNS leaks are among the most common VPN leaks. In the event of a DNS leak, your primary connection goes through the VPN, as it should, but your DNS still goes to your ISP’s servers. Because your DNS shows where you are going and where you are, DNS leaks effectively render your VPN useless.
No VPN connected | VPN connected | DNS leak test |
172.253.237.3 (Hong Kong) | 5.62.49.18 (Miami, United States) | Good |
172.253.4.4 (Hong Kong) | – | |

Torrenting
Of course, the use of torrents greatly simplifies the process of obtaining the necessary information and makes it very convenient. There is only one big BUT – safety. After all, by downloading files directly from different sources, you not only run the risk of “picking up” a virus but also tell everyone your IP address. Here VPN also is necessary for the basic exception of such situations.
BitTorrent
We tested a file of 3.5 GB. The table below shows the number of seeders, speed, and time.
