Examples described herein relate to the selection of virtual private network profiles. A device obtains VPN metrics associated with a plurality of VPN server nodes and monitors device usage metrics. The device is configured with a first VPN profile, which indicates that a first VPN tunnel connection is associated with a first VPN server node from the plurality of VPN server nodes. The device determines a latency associated with each of the plurality of VPN server nodes based on the VPN metrics and the device usage metrics. A second VPN server node associated with a least latency among the plurality of VPN server nodes is selected. A second VPN tunnel connection associated with the second VPN server node is determined based on the device usage metrics. A second VPN profile indicating that the second VPN tunnel connection is associated with the second VPN server node is displayed as a recommendation to a user.
