Hi please forgive my English and spelling but this how i type sorry. A quick few questions below.

 

1 in App under Contries i see list etc Netherlands next to it says servers 44 does this mean there are 44 diffrent ISP address numbers ? also users it says sampe 4241 if i connect to a sever with a lot of people does this mean the speed might be slow or fast ? also the Latency sample say 42ms is that the speed ? how i can tell which one is the fastest ? please forgive me if you dont understand what i say or im not clear with my English sorry.Thank you.

 

any help or advice or anything i can read to help  would be great.So far the speeds are very good and service is better than PIA.

Hello!

 

1. 44 is the number of Netherlands servers. Each server has a different IP address. IP address is maybe what you call ISP numbers. If you go to ipleak.net you can see your IP and DNS addresses. Try connect to different servers and then go to ipleak.net to see the difference.
2. The number of users usually doesn't affect the speed that much in my experience. You have to look at the server load. But there's many factors; server load (number of users) isn't the only thing.
3. 42 means 42 miliseconds and is sort of an indication of speed. The lower the number, the better, because it means it took less time for communication to go from your PC to that server.
4. You have to try the different servers to see which ones are fastest for you in particular. You can start with the ones at the top of the list, which have the *lowest* ms/ping number.

It is indeed better than PIA
