Unbreakable VPN Connection by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify
The words mobile VPN describe behaviour, not hardware. They mean an encrypted internet connection that stays open while a device changes network, so nothing has to restart when Wi-Fi drops away and 4G/5G cellular data takes over.
Speedify passes that bar and then goes past it, because Speedify keeps Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular data both in use at the same time rather than hopping from one to the other. The test that follows put the best-known VPN apps through exactly that hand-off, and it shows why using Speedify means video calls survive the walk out of the front door with your traffic still encrypted.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your connections drops, Speedify automatically routes your traffic to your remaining connections — so calls don't cut out and downloads don't stall.
The Test
- We joined a Wi-Fi hotspot,
- Connected the VPN,
- Ran a Speedtest.net speed test, and
- Pulled the Ethernet cable from the Wi-Fi router while the test was still going on.
This is a simple test, to see how where ideally the VPN would just switch to cellular data, or at least disconnect and reconnect on mobile data after a few moments pause.
There are two possible results for this test, that are summarized in the “Maintain Connections” column:
- Yes – Means it switched from WiFi to cellular without needing to change IP addresses or stop a Speed Test in progress (Best!)
- No – Indicates that the VPN stopped working when the WiFi failed, and never recovered, without the user either quitting the Wi-Fi or going back into the VPN app to disconnect and reconnect (Bad)
If we know what protocol the VPN uses, we added it to the Protocol column, as well.
The Results
| VPN Top 10 App Store | Maintain Connection | Comments | Protocols |
| Speedify | Yes | Yanked the ethernet to the router so it was on a “dead hotspot” in the middle of the Speedtest and Speedify recovered almost immediately and successfully finished the speed test. See here a recent video of how it works in the context of live streaming. | VPN for Mobility |

That’s the power of the VPN for Mobility. All the conventional VPNs just stop working when they hit a bad Wi-Fi hotspot, and take you off the Internet. This might be tolerable on a desktop computer, but it’s certainly not acceptable for someone walking around with a mobile phone, roaming from a hotspot to another.
Only Speedify is a true next generation VPN for Mobility that can keep you online even when your Wi-Fi stops working.
