We install it, run it and measure it before we tell you to buy it.
Hands-on tests of VPNs, password managers and everyday apps, with the numbers published next to every verdict.
What happens before a review goes live
We pay for it
A normal subscription on our own card, the same plan you would buy. No review copies that behave better than the real thing.
We run it for at least two weeks
On Windows, macOS and Android, at home and on public Wi-Fi.
We measure it
Speed against our bare connection, IP and DNS leaks, kill switch behaviour, streaming access. Scripts log every run.
We ask for the refund
If a service promises money back, we test whether it actually pays.
Latest reviews
The first reviews are on the test bench.
Each one goes live only after a full round of speed, leak and kill-switch tests. See how we test for what that involves.
