How we measured speed from Singapore
One of our three test servers ran in Singapore (Hetzner cloud). It sent the same requests through every provider on the same schedule, 5–8 October 2026.
- Latency. 100 requests per provider and exit country, to a Cloudflare trace endpoint, at 08:00 and 20:00 UTC: 8,400 requests per provider over 12 exit countries. Latency is the full request time (connect, tunnel, TLS and response) of successful requests; we report the median.
- Time to first byte. On 7 October we measured TTFB with curl: 10 requests per provider and exit country from the same server.
- Who is ahead. For each provider against the leader, we computed the 95% confidence interval of the difference in medians from the raw logs, resampling whole runs (latency) or exit countries (TTFB). A difference whose interval includes zero is not called a lead.
Limits
- One location. These numbers are from Singapore only; from our US and German servers the order of providers was different. Latency depends on the distance between your server, the proxy gateway and the exit country.
- Mixed exit countries. The median covers 12 exit countries, from Vietnam and Indonesia to Brazil and the US. A single country will be faster or slower.
- TTFB from one day. The TTFB test ran once, on 7 October, with fewer requests, so its intervals are wide.
- Raw data and scripts. The anonymized request logs, the test scripts and the results workbook are on GitHub, so every number here can be recomputed.
