Our Review Method and VPN Test Protocol
When conducting a VPN review, our experts will intensively use the VPN for a considerable time, conducting several tests in the meantime. This allows us to give each VPN a carefully calculated final score, based on several sub scores.
Since we believe that the best recommendation is one that has been tried and tested, we test all the VPNs ourselves. This means that all screenshots and test results you see in our reviews have been obtained by our experts during their research, unless otherwise specified. In our verdict, we always combine the experiences of several of our experts and editors. More information can be found in our editorial guidelines.
What Makes a Good VPN?
We started testing VPNs in 2014. Over the past decade, we have created an extended testing protocol to determine which VPNs are the best and which VPNs you should stay away from.
But what exactly do our experts test? We look at the following things:
- Safety: How solid is the security that a VPN has to offer? Does it actually change your IP address? Does it encrypt your data well?
- Speed: What happens to the speed of our internet connection when you connect to a VPN server? Does it make your device really slow?
- User-friendliness: How user-friendly is the VPN provider in daily use? Can a novice user install it with ease?
- Server network: How large and diverse is the server network of the VPN? Does it work with streaming platforms and torrenting?
If you’d like to learn more, you can read our full VPN review methodology.
Find the Perfect VPN for You With Our VPN Comparison Tool!
The VPN comparison tool above allows you to compare VPNs and filter them according to your own wishes. Looking for a VPN that works with Netflix and lets you pay for your subscription with bitcoin? Simply select the preferred filters and you’ll see all providers that can do exactly that! This way it’s much easier for you to find the best VPN provider.
If you’re still unsure which VPN to choose, check out our list of the best all-round VPNs or take a look at our page with articles about the best VPN providers for specific ends, whether you’re looking to unblock Hulu or want to find a great “no logs” provider to protect your privacy.
