Servers and Locations

This VPN has a very low number of servers. It has only 98 servers located in 29 cities of 29 countries.

	OVPN	Industry average
Number of Countries	29	60
Number of Server Locations	29	120
Number of Servers	98	1000

The official site says it’s enough, but it is essentially smaller than the industry average.

Speed tests

As a rule, any VPN decreases both upload and download speed due to the presence of an intermediate link between the user and the site.

Download speed

Here we provide data on 19 countries from 226. It is just 8.4%. The test results of downloads are presented below.

Header Label	Americas	Europe	Asia Pacific
Number of tested countries	2	40	3
Number of countries without test data	45	14	122
Average Download speed	118.41 Mbps	70.7 Mbps	26 Mbps
Min Download speed	90.3 Mbps (USA)	1.85 Mbps (Romania)	8.65 Mbps (Singapore)
Max Download speed	146.42 Mbps (Canada)	154.7 Mbps (Finland)	59.86 Mbps (Australia)
No VPN	166.22 Mbps	166.22 Mbps	166.22 Mbps

We managed to test a very limited number of countries. There were only 2 countries from the Americas (the USA and Canada) and only 3 countries (Australia, Japan, and Singapore) for the Asia Pacific. Probably, this low number of countries means that such a low number of servers is not enough.

The average download speed ranged a lot for different countries. It was 118.41 Mbps for the Americas, 70.7 Mbps for Europe, and 26 Mbps for the Asia Pacific. They differed 4.55 times.

The data for countries ranged essentially too. Here we provide the min/max data, including countries:

90.3 (Canada)/166.22 (USA) Mbps for the Americas;
1.85 (Romania)/154.7 (Finland) Mbps for Europe;
8.65 (Singapore)/59.86 (Australia) Mbps for the Asia Pacific.

OVPN Download speed compares to no VPN (for regions)*

Header Label	OVPN	No VPN avg	Difference
Quickest	154.7 Mbps	166.22 Mbps	1.07 times less
Slowest	1.85 Mbps	166.22 Mbps	89.85 times less
Average (all countries)	68.66 Mbps	166.22 Mbps	2.42 times less

*Note: We’ve tested, reviewed, and ranked dozens of top VPNs and selected the top ten that are worth your money. To do this, we carefully studied their features, market reputation, feedback, and prices.

Upload Speed

Here we provide data on 19 countries from 226. It is just 8.4%. The test results of downloads are presented below.

Header Label	Americas	Europe	Asia Pacific
Number of tested countries	2	40	3
Number of countries without test data	45	14	122
Average Upload speed	18.89 Mbps	16.43 Mbps	26 Mbps
Min Upload speed	16.59 Mbps (Canada)	11.36 Mbps (Ukraine)	16.66 Mbps (Singapore)
Max Upload speed	21.19 Mbps (USA)	19.75 Mbps (Finland)	20.43 Mbps (Japan)
No VPN	25.31 Mbps	25.31 Mbps	25.31 Mbps

The average upload speed did not range a lot for different countries. It was 18.89 Mbps for the Americas, 16.43 Mbps for Europe, and 19.07 Mbps for the Asia Pacific. They differed 1.16 times.

The data for countries was close too, contrary to download speed. Here we provide the min/max data, including countries:

16.59 (Canada)/21.19 (USA) Mbps for the Americas;
11.36 (Ukraine)/19.75 (Finland) Mbps for Europe;
16.66 (Singapore)/20.43 (Japan) Mbps for the Asia Pacific.

OVPN Download speed compares to no VPN (for regions)*

Header Label	OVPN	No VPN avg	Difference
Quickest	21.19 Mbps	25.31 Mbps	1.15 times less
Slowest	11.36 Mbps	25.31 Mbps	2.22 times less
Average (all countries)	17.1 Mbps	25.31 Mbps	1.48 times less

Ping out speed

Users of the World Wide Web have heard the word “ping” at least once in their lives. Ping means checking the Internet channel for speed. More advanced users know that ping is the response speed at which the device signal reaches another user and returns. This takes milliseconds.

OVPN ping speed, ms

Header Label	Americas	Europe	Asia Pacific
Quickest	173 (USA)	191 (UK)	57 (Singapore)
Slowest	239 (Canada)	335 (Ukraine)	140 (Australia)
Average	203	222.21	87.67
No VPN connection	21	21	21

OVPN ping speed compared to other VPNs

Header label	Country	Ping
Quickest	Singapore	57 ms
Slowest	Ukraine	335 ms
Overall	All countries	200 ms
No VPN connection	All countries	21

OVPN ping speed compared to the industry average

Header Label	OVPN	Other VPN avg	Difference
Quickest	57 (Singapore)	65.83 ms	1.16 times less
Slowest	335 (Ukraine)	65.83 ms	5.1 times more
Overall	200 ms	65.83 ms	3.04 times more

OVPN is an outsider. Its average ping for all countries exceeds the other VPNs 3.04 times.

DNS Leak Test

Internet ping directly affects connection speed. Thus, one of the methods of diagnosing the quality of the connection to the World Wide Web is to check the ping. If it turns out that this problem is this parameter, users are trying to reduce the ping in every way.

No VPN connected	VPN connected	DNS leak test
172.253.5.3 (Central, Hong Kong)	45.83.89.132 (Los Angeles, United States)	Good
172.253.6.3 (Hong Kong)	–

172.253.6.3 (Hong Kong)	–
173.194.93.6 (Taipei, Taiwan)	–
74.125.179.129 (Hong Kong)

Our DNS leak test was successful with this VPN. NO DNS leaks were detected.

Streaming

The official site claims that OVPN unblocks the following streaming platforms: Netflix in the USA, Disney+ in the USA, Hulu in the USA, Netflix in Germany, Netflix in Sweden, C More, TV4 Play, SVT Play, Viaplay, HBO Nordic, SF Anytime, YLE Areena.

We carried out our test to check it. Unfortunately, we did not manage to unblock Netflix.

Torrenting

There are many torrents in different languages, but they work on one BitTorrent protocol. The principle of operation is that files are transferred directly from user to user, bypassing the server. As you have already understood, a torrent is a very complex system of information transfer. For example, if a person downloads a file, in a couple of hours this information will spread to thousands of computers.

BitTorrent with OVPN

To test OVPN, we completed a file of 3.5 GB. We considered the number of seeders, speed, and time. The table below presents the test results.

BitTorrent with OVPN

Header Label	File size	Seeders	Download Speed	Time
OVPN	3.5 GB	0.825	1.7 MB/s	37 min 35 s
Other VPNs	1.85 GB	0.878	2.1 Mbps	11 min

The observed speed was close to the industry average. They were 1.7 Mb/s and 2.1 Mb/s respectively. So, the time was close too. The industry average was 11 min for a file of 1.85 GB compared to the obtained time of 37 min 35 s (1.55 times more) for the file twice bigger.

uTorrent with OVPN

To test OVPN, we completed a file of 3.5 GB. This file has the same size to provide equal conditions. We considered the same options (the number of seeders, speed, and time). The table below presents the test results.

uTorrent with OVPN

Header Label	File size	Seeders	Download Speed	Time
OVPN	3.5 GB	0.694	1.6 MB/s	44 min 35 s
Other VPNs	1.85 GB	0.219	2.1 Mbps	22 min

The observed speed was close to the industry average. They were 1.6 Mb/s and 2.1 Mb/s respectively. So, the time was close too. The industry average was 22 min for a file of 1.85 GB compared to the obtained time of 44 min 35 s (almost the same) for the file twice bigger.

Devices and Operating Systems

The following OS can be used with this VPN:

macOS (Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra and El Capitan);
Windows (7 and higher);
Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, Fedora, Debian);
iOs (12+);

Price

The OVPN proposes 3 subscription plans:

Subscription for 1 month – €11 (4 devices, 10 days of money back);
Subscription for 6 months – €41.94, which is €6.99 per month (4 devices, 10 days of money back);
Subscription for 12 months – €59.88, which is $4.99 per month (5 devices, 10 days of money back);

Plan	OVPN	Industry Avg	Difference
1 month	€ 9.99	US$9.00	+20%
6 months	€ 6.99	–	–
12 months	€ 2.99	US$8.00	+246%

The monthly price is more than the industry avg of 20%. However, it makes sense to buy a subscription for 12+ months.

Discount

There are discounts for each plan. But we present data with discount inclusion.

Free Trial

There is no free trial at this time. But it offers a 10-day money-back guarantee.

Customer support

The support was bad.
