Methodology
What we research, what we publish
Every VPN recommendation on this site is based on research across independent audits, public benchmarks, and verified user reports. We synthesize, contextualize, and cross-check claims rather than duplicating testing that established labs already do well. We do not accept payment from VPN providers in exchange for positive coverage.
We read every independent no-logs and security audit (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, Cure53) and verify attribution against current public records.
Independent speed benchmarks sourced from AV-TEST, Cybernews, and Tom's Guide. Streaming unblock data synthesized from public reports and user community feedback.
Aggregated user sentiment from Trustpilot, Reddit, and the App Store, weighted by sample size and recency.
Zero sponsored content. Zero provider press access. Every claim on this site traces to a verifiable source.
