Comparison of virtual private network services

From HandWiki

This article is a comparison of virtual private network services. In computer magazines, VPN services are typically judged on connection speeds; privacy protection, including privacy at signup and grade of encryption; server count and locations; interface usability; and cost.[1][2][3][4] In order to determine the degree of privacy and anonymity, various computer magazines, such as PC World and PC Magazine, also take the provider's own guarantees and its reputation among news items into consideration.[1][2]

Definitions

The following definitions clarify the meaning of the column headers in the comparison tables below.

Privacy

PC Magazine recommends that users consider choosing a provider based in a country with no data retention laws, since that makes it easier for the service to keep a promise of no logging.[8] PC Magazine and TechRadar also suggest that users read the provider's logging policy before signing up for the service,[8][3] since some providers collect information about their customers' VPN usage.[9][10] PC World recommends that users avoid free services as a rule of thumb, and asserts that free services either sell their users' browsing data in aggregated form to researchers and marketers, or only offer a minimal amount of data transfer per month.[9] Logitheque explains why there are so many VPN comparison websites on the web.[11]

Notes

  1. As claimed by provider unless otherwise noted.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 There is no mention of Avira's VPN logging policy in their privacy policy. However, it is stated in an FAQ section that neither traffic nor IP addresses are logged on their VPN service.[12] It is also stated that bandwidth is logged.[12] When visiting Avira's website, the visitor's IP address is logged by both Google Analytics and the CrazyEgg tool.[13]
  3. Hotspot Shield claims to collect "anonymous, aggregate data about which websites you visit and which apps you use."[25]
  4. "We DO NOT keep any record of your browsing activities, connection logs, records of the VPN IPs assigned to you, your original IPs, your connection time, the history of your browsing, the sites you visited, your outgoing traffic, the content or data you accessed, or the DNS queries generated by you."[46] However, in 2017, PureVPN provided connection logs including IP addresses to the FBI for use in a criminal investigation.[47]
  5. Name and e-mail is required for every payment method.[48]
  6. VPN.ht only touches upon logging of traffic in their privacy policy.[61] However, in another section of the website, it is stated that bandwidth is not logged.[62]
  7. VPNBook does not disclose in which jurisdiction it operates.
  8. 8.0 8.1 VPNBook is free and therefore doesn't require payment. However, it accepts donations in bitcoin and through PayPal.
