5 best VPN (2025) services, test and review
Other VPNs we have tested
Private access to the Internet (PIA) It has a long history in the VPN space and has a history of defending user privacy – even in the face of real criminal activities. In 2016, a criminal complaint in Florida was filed against Preston Alexander McWators over online threats. Eventually McWators was sentenced to 42 months in prison. Researchers tracked online threats to Pia servers and summoned the company. As this complaint has come, “summoning to [Private Internet Access] And the only information they can provide is the cluster of IP addresses used from the US East Coast. “McCatarz operates between them, but PIA, despite such a clear view of the VPN provider, affects its failure policies, my PIA is much more expensive during my tests, and this increases the worst speed than any type of VPN tested.
Mysteriumvpn Is DVPN or VPN decentralized as far as I can say. The concept of a decentralized VPN has existed for a while, but it really has really been stretched over the past two years. The idea is to form a network of residential IP addresses that form the network and routine your traffic through ordinary IP addresses to get the list of increasing blocks for VPN servers. MySterium does this network with mystnodes. This is a cryptographic node. People buy node for encryption and put them on mysterium network. It is not inherently bad, but your traffic routing through a single residential IP is a little worrying. Even without decentralized impact, mysterium was slow, and does not maintain any kind of privacy, whether a third -party audit, a warranty or transparency report.
Comrade One of the popular options to recommend as VPN is free. This service offers a free and good service, with a handful of high -speed servers and 10 GB of data per month. You have to suffer from four, four people. The problem is how new Privadovpn is. No transparency or audit reports are available, and although the speed is appropriate, they are not as good as protons, winds or Surfshark. Privadovpn is not bad, but it is recommended to recommend when there are protons and windshields with free applications that are just as good.
How we test VPNs
Functional, one VPN has to do two things: Keep your internet speed fast and in fact protect your browsing data. This is where I focused my experiment. The extra features are a comfortable interface and a great customization settings, but it doesn’t matter if the main service is broken.
Speed testing requires point checking, as the daytime time, the network you are connected to, and the specific VPN server you use can affect all speeds. For this reason, I always adjusted the base speed directly to my unprotected connection before recording the results, and I performed this experiment three times on the US and UK server. With these basic drops, I examined during different days during a week to see if the speed decline is similar.
Security is a little more involved. For beginners, I leaked for DNS, Webrtc and IP every time I was connected to the server using a browser leak. I also did some brief tests that ruined my connection to Wireshaark to ensure that all the packages sent with the VPN protocol are secure.
On the privacy front, the top services on this list are independently audited, all of which retain some kind of transparency report. In most cases, there is a good report, but in others, such as windscrib, transparency is exposed through legal proceedings.
