    (1) ExpressVPN’s audits into whether it complies with its privacy policy are not public. You have to accept a non-disclosure agreement before you can download them. CyberGhost claims to have had its no-logs policy audited by Deloitte. Customers can request the report directly from Deloitte, but it is not otherwise publicly available. NordVPN claims to have had several “assurance engagements” to verify its no-logs policy. Only customers can access them on the NordVPN website. Surfshark also requires people to sign up and log in to see its no-logs audits. (2) NordVPN’s Basic plan(new window) does not include an ad or malware blocker. Access to these features requires upgrading to the Plus plan. (3) Kape Technologies is based in the UK and also owns(new window) Private Internet Access and EventVPN. (4) Nord Security’s true ownership (and therefore its ultimate jurisdiction) is very uncertain(new window).

    Few competitors can match its mix of affordability, features, and design. Its premium subscription is an excellent value for any VPN, and it's made all the better for including secure email, storage, and calendar tools. For all that, it gets a rare five-star rating and wins our Editor's Choice award.

    All VPN providers claim to be security experts, but few can match Swiss-based Proton’s experience and track record.

    We’re impressed with Proton VPN’s straightforward, transparent approach, especially in contrast to the general atmosphere of secrecy and shiftiness in the VPN industry. If you’re in need of a well-rounded VPN service that puts its money where its mouth is, take a look at Proton VPN.
