Two runs, controlled by you

Compare the paths without pretending to control them.

First run a direct baseline, then change the VPN yourself and run again. The browser keeps both summaries locally and explains the deltas without fear-based claims.

Direct baseline

First, confirm that your VPN is off, then run the test.

After the baseline, change the VPN yourself and test again.

Before you start

Pause large downloads and cloud sync. This creates real traffic, capped at about 135 MB; slower links stop earlier.

Method

A paired comparison, not VPN automation

Both slots run the same bounded Cloudflare speed-test sequence. The page calculates percentage and absolute deltas for download, upload, idle latency, loaded latency and jitter. It records the observed edge and time so you can spot an unfair comparison.

A concrete example

A slower VPN is not automatically a bad VPN

A VPN may trade throughput for encryption or a longer route. A useful comparison asks whether the remaining speed and latency fit your actual call, game or streaming task—not whether one headline number is lower.

Limits and uncertainty

What these numbers can—and cannot—tell you.

  1. 01

    321Kit cannot detect, enable or disable your VPN. Slot labels reflect the setup you confirm, not an independently verified tunnel state.

  2. 02

    Run both tests close together, on the same device and Wi-Fi, with other traffic paused. A changed Cloudflare edge can make the pair less comparable.

  3. 03

    The paired results stay in this browser only. Clearing local site data removes them.
