- Windscribe Pro: Runs from 2026-10-05 08:43 UTC (16:43 CST) were recorded as Windscribe Free but used our account after its upgrade to Pro. They now count for Windscribe Pro.
- Neuer Test
- Windscribe Pro: Testing started (Android app in its default automatic mode, paid by us). Results are kept apart from Windscribe Free.
- Neuer Test
- ExpressVPN: Testing started (official Linux app, paid by us).
- Website
- Free plans are named as such, for example Proton VPN Free, so a result is not read as covering the paid plan.
- Methode
- Method v2: A connection test now also fails when the VPN connects but stops carrying traffic within seconds: at least 5 of 8 further requests to Google must get through. All earlier tests were scored again with this rule.
- Website
- New page: eSIM vs VPN in China.
- Methode
- Windscribe Free: Tested in the app’s default automatic connection mode instead of a fixed protocol.
- Methode
- Status rule: one failed test in 6 hours no longer makes a VPN Unstable when the latest test passed, and a status changes only after two test rounds agree.
- Website
- Tested in China is live: VPN apps are tested every 2 hours from China Mobile home broadband in Zhejiang.
- Methode
- Method v1: Connect, tunnel proof via www.google.com/generate_204, latency, services, speed, cold sign-in.
