[vpnspeedtest]

http://vpnspeedtest.org/ tests over 20 VPN services to find the maximum speed of each VPN from 8 locations around the world.

ThatOnePrivacyGuy should use their open source speed test tool instead as the tests are verifiable (unlike his tests from a single location which nobody can reproduce).

I don't see a "disclaimer/disclosure" (kinda standard practice around here) so I assume your username is entirely coincidental?

vpnspeedtest.org probably only tests download speed but doesn't state it clearly. I use one of the listed vpn-providers and the upload speed of it is heavily throttled in a saw-tooth manner from 0,2 Mbit to 1.2Mbit, nowhere near the 50Mbit that vpnspeedtest.org lists for my hometown & PureVPN. After my ISP worked on their network, I got a new ip-address and PureVPN initially limited upload to 2Mbit, but the next day it was back to the saw-tooth behavior.

The 'name and the link are less than a centimeter apart on one's screen. That seems enough to clue in most readers?

Yeah, it's not so subtle. But then again:

> ThatOnePrivacyGuy should use their open source speed test tool instead

Using their instead of our makes it sound like there is no affiliation.

It was mere chance that I noticed it at all. I normally don't (consciously) pay much attention to usernames. "GOOGLE CEO" could reply to me and I probably wouldn't notice it so the disclaimers are a nice addition, IMO.

plus, the OP talks in the third person "should use their serivce", so it is a little misleading.

His post history points to the contrary eh
