Well, technically, the SPDY technology (now HTTP/2) allow to multiplex connections flow, So SPDY will make faster requests on web browsing concern.
Plus, other VPN technologies (OpenVPN/PPTP/L2TP) got heavier headers, which takes more bandwidth.
How much bandwidth you got? With 150mbps Fiber, we were maxing out the bandwidth with Tunnello (120mbps+), but OpenVPN was struggling between 20-30mbps with more latency on the same server and line.
You can test it by yourself, we’d love to get a feedback if you could try both on the same country.
Last time that I posted a link here, that was about 2 years ago. I just wanted to spread the word about a tool that I made https://curl.io for myself, but thought that it could be useful for people, especially sysadmins. I remember that I got huge of accurate and interesting feedbacks on this platform, so today, I'll try my chance again.
The dream of near-lagless VPN began in a cafe in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in early 2016. We wanted an ultra-fast but deadly simple VPN that even your mom could use it. Tunnello, a joint venture between a famous french VPN company and a new team of developers, was the outcome. After several months of R&D, Tunnello was soft-launched in beta in March 2016.
Tunnello is a next gen Google Chrome Extension. It uses new tech that (barely) affects the speed. It really really secure too, we use SPDY technology (which became HTTP/2) + TLS to encrypt your connection inside an AES-128 encrypted tunnel over an RSA-4096 bit certificate for key exchange. This delivers a nimble VPN protocol that is just as secure as the more clunky VPN setups, making it ideal for seamless web-browsing and video streaming with no lag.
We have been in beta testing since March and the community has really helped us with all their feedback on how to make Tunnello even better. We have improved the network quality and stabilized the connection. Our aim is global and we have already launched in 13 different countries, with some of those with strict censorship laws making it really challenging for us to continue to help our users bypass any kind of firewall, deep packet inspection so they can access the “real internet”.
Last but not least, please note that we don’t sell your data and we will never do it.
This has been a real adventure for us and we really love all the support that we get from our members across the world.
Enjoy the free unlimited bandwidth guys!
If you have any question feel free to ask us! :)
I've updated the website with gpg encryption w/ passphrase FYI.
Thanks for all these feedbacks!
I have considered most of them.
Well, as I can see the most of you are worried about the security, that I understand.
So I've just added little help with a GPG encryption right from your terminal before sending the file.
I think this is the most important things I can make right now, while I do not plan to install SSL certificate given that I don't make money with this site, and the server cost is enough.
But if some of you, guys, are interested in more professional features, let me know, we can discuss about it.
Cheers!

@beeskneecaps: I never thought about the link to destroy immediately the file, I'll put it tomorrow, thanks :)
I'm the author, @dizzda on twitter, you'll get additional informations about me.
About the security, i'll be honest, it was just to see if the concept can be interesting for other people, the only security (yet) is that the file will be auto-deleted in 4 hours. Files are hosted on a private dedicated server. So yeah, you can always take care to encrypt yourself your file before send it there.
If many people are interested to use this tool in a more professionnal-way, I can take some time to think about it... Anyway, it's just a real pleasure to hear your feedbacks guys! Please do not hesitate!
Cheers, dizda.
