How to choose VPN server
The quality of a VPN server is relative—it depends on your location, the ISP you use, and other factors. However, in this guide, we will learn how to choose the best server for your needs.
Step 1: Perform a Ping Test on Each Server
There are many available servers. To see the available servers, check the Order VPN menu. For example, let's compare "VPN Remote SG4" and "VPN Remote ID10".
Below is an example of how to ping a VPN server using CMD (Windows) or MikroTik Terminal.
Scroll down to copy the command.
Pay attention to the Latency value (highlighted in a red box).
