We’ve built a comparison of VPNs tool that weighs the things which actually decide whether a service protects you, and not one company on it has paid to be there or to rank any higher than the rest.
Get the comparison table here.
Most "best VPN" lists are affiliate machines that rank whichever company pays the biggest commission and the questions they leave out are the ones a reader most needs answered.
We built this for ourselves first. It is the working database behind the recommendations, the research we had to get through before we were willing to tell anyone which VPNs we thought were worth using, and until now only the conclusions ever reached anybody.
Handing the material over means you no longer have to take our word for the answer and, where you weigh a trade-off differently to us, you can arrive somewhere else entirely.
The table then separates two things the industry is happy to obscure, an independent no-logs audit carried out by a named firm on a stated date, and a badge parked on a homepage that says "audited" and leaves it at that. We go further and record which providers have already handed user logs to police, and which have had their no-logs claims tested somewhere it counts, in a courtroom.
Search by name, sort by whichever column you care about, and read the date on each row, because we research them against primary sources.
This table is a record but not a ranking. Read the trade-offs and decide who you trust. If you would rather skip to the short answer, the VPNs we recommend are one click away.
Just like our recommendations pages, we’ll keep the VPN comparison table regularly updated for you.
The tool is available now for paid supporters in early access.
