A new evaluation by independent testing organisation AV-TEST has awarded Kaspersky VPN with ‘Approved’ certificate.

Test results reveal a 355% improvement in upload speeds for overseas connections, and Kaspersky VPN’s extensive list of protocols, including WireGuard, OpenVPN and Catapult Hydra.

According to test results, Kaspersky VPN enhanced support for connection stability and high-speed performance. Compared to similar test results in 2022, upload speed increased by an incredible 355%, and latency improved by 3% for overseas connections.

With regards to local connections, latency decreased by 24%, upload speed was improved by 23% and download speed, by 32%. In this test, AV-TEST singled out Kaspersky VPN for providing robust streaming and torrenting capabilities, maintaining performance close to non-VPN reference values.

AV-TEST also highlighted Kaspersky VPN’s extensive server network range as one of the largest in the industry. Kaspersky VPN provides users with 83 countries and 102 server locations around the world available for connection.

In terms of features, AV-TEST also recognised the robust DNS and IP leak prevention features as well as a reliable Kill Switch. All these features strengthen the privacy level for sensitive users’ data across Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices.

Another notable update is the extended list of supported protocols, including support for open-source protocol WireGuard.
