1. Privacy
I’ll start with a comparison of the most important aspect of any VPN - privacy. During review I will consider whether VPN logs anything (IP address, traffic, DNS logs, bandwidth, or any type of timestamps) and the jurisdiction of VPN’s country of origin.
| Name | VPN Master | Celo VPN |
|---|---|---|
| IP address | No | No |
| DNS | No | No |
| Traffic | No | No |
| Bandwidth | No | No |
| Timestamps | No | No |
VPN Master is located in United States which is part of 5 9 14 eyes countries and is part of enemies of the internet countries while Celo VPN is located in Australia which is part of 5 9 14 eyes countries and is part of enemies of the internet countries.
It’s important to note that If you are like me and you will be using VPN only to unblock GEO-restricted content, privacy will not be that important factor but it’s still essential for any VPN.
2. Features
The next category I want to compare are features of VPN Master and Celo VPN such as kill-switch, unblocking of streaming, support of P2P traffic (torrenting). I am a heavy user of various streaming platforms so for me it’s important whether VPN unblocks major streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO or BBC. I don’t do much torrenting but it’s always good to use a VPN while doing so. If this is an important factor for you, definitely look for a VPN which supports P2P traffic.
| Name | VPN Master | Celo VPN |
|---|---|---|
| Kill-switch | Unknown | Yes |
| Streaming (Netflix) | No | Yes |
| P2P traffic - torrents | No | Yes |
As you can see from the comparison table above, VPN Master has kill-switch, doesn't support streaming services, and doesn't support torrenting. On the flipside Celo VPN has kill-switch, supports streaming services, and supports torrenting.
3. Speed
Being hidden behind VPN shouldn’t limit the speed of your connection. I’ve measured the speed of each VPN against a 100mbps connection - which should be sufficient for any activities including heavy streaming in 4K or downloading large files.
In my test VPN Master was more on the average side while Celo VPN had average speed. If there were no limits in speed on a 100mbps connection, I consider VPN a “fast” one. If the speed is limited somehow but still achieving decent values, I categorize it as “average”. The “slow” is usually used for VPNs which limit your bandwidth significantly.
4. Security
I will start by comparing the type of encryption VPN Master and Celo VPN use, what tunnelling protocols are available, and finally we’ll test whether it leaks the IP address or DNS.
| Name | VPN Master | Celo VPN |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | 256-bit | 256-bit |
| Tunneling protocols | L2TP and PPTP | OpenVPN, SSTP and L2TP/IPSec |
| IP leaks | No | No |
| DNS leaks | No | No |
The most important factor of a VPN service is a strong encryption of the traffic which is forwarded through the VPN servers. The most common encryption types in cryptography are SHA encryption or AES encryption which are not really comparable against each other. There might be different lengths of encryptions (eg. 128-bit, 256-bit, 2048-bit) and while usually the higher is the better, for most use cases you will be fine with any encryption. Watch-out if there is no encryption at all. VPN Master uses 256-bit and L2TP and PPTP protocol and Celo VPN uses 256-bit and es 256-bit and OpenVPN, SSTP and L2TP/IPSec protocols. I’ve tested both VPNs also for IP and DNS leaks and VPN Master had no IP leaks and No DNS leaks while Celo VPN had No IP leaks and No DNS leaks.
5. Price
Probably one of the most important decision factor for the majority of users will be price. Shocking? Not really. We all love to compare things and I am not different. It’s always good to get the best value for your hard-earned money, isn’t it? So let’s see whether VPN Master or Celo VPN is cheaper.
| Name | VPN Master | Celo VPN |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $3.95 | $5.50 |
| Trial version | Unknown | Yes |
