Question 1

What is a VPN?

Accepted Answer

A VPN sends your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to the VPN company's server, so sites see its IP address instead of yours.

It keeps your traffic private on public Wi-Fi and lets you connect through another country.

Question 2

What makes a good VPN?

Accepted Answer

An audited no-logs policy, an honest price after the first term, enough devices, a money-back window and servers where you need them.

The comparison shows each of these for every VPN.

Question 3

Which VPN is cheapest?

Accepted Answer

For a long first term, Private Internet Access was cheapest at $2.04 a month when read.

Month to month, Mullvad was cheapest at $5.68.

Question 4

Which VPNs have a no-logs audit?

Accepted Answer

NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, Proton VPN, CyberGhost and Private Internet Access each publish an independent no-logs audit.

Mullvad publishes security audits of its apps and servers.

Question 5

Is there a free VPN?

Accepted Answer

Proton VPN has a free plan for 1 device with servers in 10 countries.

Windscribe's free plan gives 10 GB a month with an email address, in 10 countries.

Question 6

Which VPN do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use NordVPN, so it's my pick at the top of the page.

Every other VPN is sorted by the same numbers, and you can sort by price or devices.

Question 7

What does the WebRTC check show?

Accepted Answer

It shows the IP addresses your browser shares through WebRTC, the technology behind video calls in the browser.

If one differs from the address sites see while your VPN is on, your real address may be leaking.

Question 8

Why do VPN prices go up after the first term?

Accepted Answer

Most VPNs sell the first term at an introductory price and renew at their regular yearly price.

The comparison shows the renewal price where the provider's page states it.
