All 11 VPN reviews

NordVPN

Best overall

Six independent no-logs audits, a RAM-only fleet, and the highest overall score in our comparison.

Surfshark

Best value

Genuinely unlimited devices, and a two-year price below NordVPN, ExpressVPN or CyberGhost.

ExpressVPN

Best for speed

Our highest speed score at 9.6 and our highest streaming score at 9.4 — at the highest price.

Proton VPN

Best privacy

Swiss jurisdiction, open-source apps and a transparency report with real numbers in it.

CyberGhost

Best for beginners

The longest money-back window in our comparison at 45 days, with servers labelled by purpose.

Private Internet Access

Best for power users

Open-source apps, unlimited devices, port forwarding, and the only no-logs claim proven twice in US federal court.

Windscribe

Best free tier

A free tier with a 10 GB monthly allowance and unlimited devices, plus a plan you build yourself.

AdGuard VPN

Built-in ad blocking

Cyprus jurisdiction outside the Eyes alliances, an open-source protocol, and ad blocking bundled into the VPN — with no published no-logs audit yet.

TunnelBear

Best simple apps

The most approachable apps of the eleven, a free tier, and the most annual audits of any provider we list.

IVPN

Best transparency

The most transparent provider we found: named ownership, seven annual audits and monthly reporting.

Mullvad

Best anonymity

Swedish, independent, no account email, no subscription tier — and a police raid that came up empty.
