How We Review

The configurable editorial framework behind VPN and proxy scores.

Define the review scope

Editors record the product type, plan, version, test date, locations, limitations, and the evidence available for each review.

Use weighted criteria

VPN criteria cover privacy, security, speed, streaming, apps, network, support, and value. Proxy criteria cover IP quality, pool size, geography, success rate, speed, sessions, integrations, support, and value.

Separate testing from research

A tested label appears only after an editor explicitly records that status. Research-based analysis is not presented as personal testing.

Refresh old work

Review refresh intervals and update-required flags help editors revisit prices, policies, ownership, apps, and network claims.
