How We Rate Our VPNs

To figure out which VPNs are worth your money, we looked at what each VPN offers, starting with features.

When using a VPN, your priority should be security. That’s why we chose VPNs that have military-grade encryption, a range of protocols (OpenVPN, L2TP, IKEv2, and more), DNS leak protection, and a kill-switch. We also looked at the number of servers and locations, and we tested each VPN for speed.

We then tested each VPN’s ease-of-use, from downloading and installing the software to connecting to the right server. Customer support is also a crucial aspect, so we examined each VPN’s availability, what forms of contact are available, and how efficient their support team is. We compared all of that to the price to see if it was worthwhile or not. Last but not least, we analyzed our users’ reviews, both the positive and the negative.
