Today I will be testing SurfsharkVPN in WIndows 10 with the protocol in auto mode. In addition, I’m privately testing the IKEv2 protocol for connectivity. I’m going to compare the connection to the server in the two modes. Finally, I tested OpenVPN and SSR, but I may not have found the right server, so I tried 5-6 servers with no success in connecting.

Summary: The SurfsharkVPN test was conducted on Windows 10 using the “Auto” protocol. Eight servers were tested at random, and one of them was unable to connect. I don’t know why, but I’m just sharing the results with you. If any of our readers have insights/analysis on either speed test, please leave a comment and let me know. I will let you all know after I have put it all together.
One more thing, I also tested the IKEv2 protocol privately, which is also connectable, and the speed measurements were similar.
