Our Affiliate Disclaimer: How We Recommend VPNs (and Why It Matters)

Our Affiliate Disclaimer

We take privacy seriously — and we want to be clear about how we keep this site running.

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click a link to a VPN provider and end up signing up, we might earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. It helps support the time, testing, and writing that goes into what we do.

But here’s what’s important:

• Not every VPN we recommend has an affiliate program.
  If a service is worth including in a comparison or guide, we’ll still list it — whether it pays us or not.

• We never accept sponsored placements.
  Our reviews and rankings are editorial — based on our own research, tests, and experience using the VPNs ourselves.

• Our toplists are scored on real factors, not payments.
  We look at privacy, performance, audits, streaming support, and more — not who pays the most.

In short, we want to help you make the right choice, not push you toward the highest-paying option. If something’s not up to scratch, we’ll say so — and if a free or lesser-known VPN is genuinely solid, it earns its spot just like any other.

If you ever have questions about how we test or recommend VPNs, get in touch — we’re always happy to explain more.
