Our Review Methodology

In order to qualitatively review VPN services, our team is guided by the main criteria which are important for choosing a good VPN:

  1. Security – the level of encryption, the specifics of the jurisdiction, the absence of shady corporations and the company’s dubious past. All this is very important for the user’s confidence in the confidentiality of their data.
  2. VPN speed and server connection speed.
  3. The presence of basic features that are of interest to all users – this includes available protocols, the Kill Switch function, etc. We do not lower the service rating due to the lack of some unpopular features that were created by companies not because of the market but just to show off and stand out from the crowd. We focus on key features that are of significant value to users.
  4. Cost is one of the main criteria, because in such a saturated market with a huge variety of different services, this plays a decisive role.
  5. Unblocking streaming services and other specific websites is a very important feature, so we highlight and evaluate it separately.

Perhaps this will seem not enough for someone, but there are a large number of criteria, and if we use each of them, then the reviews will be simply endless. In our reviews, the main focus is on which VPN will suit the average user, which will suit him 100%, will be the cheapest and highest quality among other things.

In reviews of VPN services in different categories, of course, we pay more attention to some particular aspect.

Our review principles:

  1. We focus on the value that a particular service brings to the user. The success of the VPN service brand and its popularity does not matter for us.
  2. Evaluation from the point of view of an average user, and not a VPN expert with a lot of experience, since most users are ordinary people who often do not need a lot of additional features, which also need to be overpaid.
  3. Coherence and usefulness of the review, the desire to give an objective assessment, despite the possible negative experience and personal factors. We evaluate VPNs not from the point of view of any one function, the possibility of application, but we give a complete picture. For example, if with this VPN you cannot unblock one of the streaming services, its score will not be reduced to one, provided that other services, the speed is at a high level and the price is acceptable.
