  • Security audit review: Analysis of third-party security assessments and jurisdiction risks

Transparency & Ethics

We maintain high standards of transparency in our reviews and recommendations:

  • Affiliate relationships: Clearly marked and never influence our rankings
  • Review criteria: Public scoring methodology based on objective measurements
  • Data verification: "Last verified" dates shown on all dynamic content
  • Correction process: VPN providers can report inaccuracies for immediate review
