Rules

• A retail account only: the plan readers can buy. No special review accounts.
• We may also buy the same plan ourselves to cross-check the results.
• The VPN’s page says “account provided by” your company. Accounts we pay for say “paid by us”.
• No testing fee.
• Results are published as measured. Vendors cannot edit, delay or remove them.
• The same method and status rules apply to every VPN.
• Discount codes are welcome. Affiliate links never change a status, a figure or the order of a list or ranking (disclosure).
