How we make money
Some links to VPN providers may pay us a commission if you buy. Here is how that works, and the rules that keep it from shaping what we write.
How affiliate links work
Many VPN companies pay websites a commission when a reader clicks a link and buys a subscription. The price you pay is the same either way. On this site, buttons to providers go through a short address of ours (/go/ followed by the provider's name), so we can record which provider pays us in one place.
How to tell which links pay us
- A button marked Sponsored link pays us a commission if you buy.
- A button marked Official site goes to the provider's website and pays us nothing.
- A button marked No affiliate deal goes to a provider that doesn't run an affiliate program at all.
Links that pay us are also marked for search engines as sponsored, as Google asks.
Our rules
- Verdicts and rankings come from the evidence described in how we review. A provider can't buy a verdict or a place.
- A provider that pays us nothing can rank above one that does.
- We don't accept free subscriptions, gifts or payment for reviews.
- We don't publish coupon codes we can't verify on the provider's own site.
