1. Safety
The most important factor. We hand-pick VPNs with military-grade encryption, support for multiple protocols, protection against DNS leaks, kill switch functionality, etc.
It is very important to use the very best and most suitable online privacy and security tools. That’s why we want to be 100% transparent about our testing and evaluation methodologies.
We evaluate privacy services on different parameters. While all parameters are important, they vary in importance and contribute differently to the final result.
Here is how we test and review VPN services:
2. Availability
Number of servers, locations, speed and accessibility. Thats what allows you to access the internet from all over the world.
3. Features
Additional features and device compatibility. This includes a no-log policy, applications for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, split-tunneling, etc.
4. Support
24/7 livechat, FAQ, knowledge base. Are there true experts who can help solve any technical problems?
5. Price
Service quality(all of the above) to price ratio. That means to get what we paid for. VPN services may cost about the same, but quality differ.
To evaluate additional features, compatibility with devices and quality to price ratio, we simply test VPN services. We also look at popularity and user ratings on TrustPilot.
It is difficult to assess service value for customer, but we believe that it must meet a number of criteria. Cover simultaneously connected devices, work on a variety of platforms ect.. In other words, you have to get what you pay for. For example, if a VPN service forces you to pay extra for every new device you want to connect, that’s a bad option.
