Separate the claim from the evidence. Our provider assessments explain features, conditions and tradeoffs.
Editorial policy updated: 9 November 2026.
What we evaluate
- Privacy and security: published logging policies, ownership, jurisdiction, protocols and third-party audit reports. An audit concerns a defined scope and date.
- Apps and features: supported devices, connection allowances, routing, kill switches and optional products. Availability can differ by plan and operating system.
- Cost: the amount charged upfront, subscription term, currency, tax, renewal, add-ons and refund eligibility.
- Performance and streaming: results depend on the route, baseline connection, device, service, region and time. Provider claims are not our own measurements.
How evidence is labelled
A documented feature is attributed to its source. A published audit must be read alongside its scope and date. A measured result should include the date, devices and app versions, protocol, locations, baseline, number of runs and measurements.
The current assessments do not publish a new comparative benchmark dataset. We have removed unexplained star ratings, unsupported speed claims and blanket streaming guarantees. The order of featured providers is not a measured performance ranking.
Prices and updates
Provider terms can change by country, currency, account and promotion. We direct readers to the provider for the current checkout. Historical reference prices should not be treated as live offers. A wording update does not mean that a new test was run.
