We tested AdminCore VPN against the top 3 competitors. All tests performed on 1 Gbps connection, measured over 100 requests.
| VPN Service | Average Speed | Latency | Packet Loss | Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AdminCore VPN | 950 Mbps | 12 ms | 0% | Shadowsocks |
| NordVPN | 680 Mbps | 28 ms | 0.2% | NordLynx (WireGuard) |
| ExpressVPN | 720 Mbps | 24 ms | 0.1% | Lightway |
| ProtonVPN | 580 Mbps | 35 ms | 0.3% | WireGuard |
Result: AdminCore VPN is 40% faster than the closest competitor. Our Shadowsocks protocol with ChaCha20 cipher is optimized for maximum throughput with minimal CPU overhead.
Privacy is our #1 priority. Here's how we compare to the competition:

| Registration Required | ✗ NO (100% anonymous) | Email required | Email required | Email required |
| Payment Methods | Crypto ONLY (BTC, USDT, ETH, LTC) | Credit Card, PayPal, Crypto | Credit Card, PayPal, Crypto | Credit Card, PayPal, Crypto |
| Encryption | ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD | AES-256-GCM | AES-256-GCM | AES-256-GCM |
| Jurisdiction | Non-5/9/14 Eyes | Panama (Non-5 Eyes) | British Virgin Islands | Switzerland |
| Open Source | Extensions on GitHub | ✗ Proprietary | ✗ Proprietary | Clients open source |
No email. No name. No tracking. Just download, pay with crypto, and go. That's privacy.

"Finally, a VPN that doesn't ask for my email or credit card during trial. Speed is incredible - I get full gigabit on my connection. YouTube 4K streams perfectly. This is what VPN should be."
"Switched from NordVPN after 3 years. AdminCore is 2x faster and truly anonymous. Paid with Bitcoin, no questions asked. Extensions work flawlessly. Best VPN I've ever used."
"As a privacy advocate, I'm impressed. Open source extensions, crypto-only payments, zero logs (actually verified). Shadowsocks protocol bypasses even the toughest firewalls. Highly recommended."
"Speed is amazing, privacy is top-notch. Monthly price is higher than competitors, but worth it for the anonymity. Yearly plan is a great deal. Only issue: no mobile apps yet (browser extensions work great though)."
Unlike competitors using AES-256, we use ChaCha20-Poly1305 - a modern, faster, and more secure cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein (creator of Curve25519). It's the same encryption used by Google, Cloudflare, and the TLS 1.3 standard.
Every session uses unique encryption keys. Even if one key is compromised (hypothetically), past and future sessions remain secure. NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and ProtonVPN all implement this, but we go further with per-connection key rotation.
All DNS requests are routed through the VPN tunnel. We don't rely on your ISP's DNS servers. Our extensions force DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) for maximum privacy.
If VPN connection drops, our extensions automatically stop all traffic until connection is restored. No data leaks, ever.
Shadowsocks was designed in 2012 specifically to bypass deep packet inspection (DPI) and censorship. Unlike WireGuard or OpenVPN, Shadowsocks traffic looks like regular HTTPS traffic, making it virtually undetectable.
| Protocol | Speed | DPI Resistance | CPU Usage | Setup Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shadowsocks (AdminCore) | Excellent | Excellent (looks like HTTPS) | Low (ChaCha20) | Simple |
| WireGuard (NordVPN, ProtonVPN) | Excellent | Poor (easily detected) | Very Low | Moderate |
| OpenVPN (Legacy) | Good | Moderate | High | Complex |
Bottom line: If you need speed AND stealth, Shadowsocks is unbeatable. That's why AdminCore VPN uses it exclusively.
