About Us
Our Mission
At VPN Compare Pro, we’re dedicated to providing transparent, comprehensive, and unbiased comparisons of Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. In today’s digital landscape, where privacy concerns and cyber threats are increasingly prevalent, we believe everyone deserves access to reliable information about tools that can protect their online presence.
Who We Are
Founded in 2022 by a team of cybersecurity professionals and privacy advocates, VPN Compare Pro emerged from our collective frustration with the misleading information and promotional bias that plagued the VPN comparison space. Our founders have backgrounds spanning network security, data privacy law, consumer advocacy, and technology journalism—bringing together diverse expertise to create a trustworthy resource for consumers.
Our team consists of:
- Security researchers who rigorously test each VPN’s encryption standards and security claims
- Privacy specialists who evaluate data collection policies and jurisdiction implications
- Technical analysts who measure and verify performance metrics across global server networks
- User experience experts who assess ease of use across different platforms and devices
- Content specialists who transform complex technical details into clear, accessible information
Our Approach
Rigorous Testing Methodology
Unlike many comparison sites, we develop and adhere to standardized testing protocols for every VPN service we review. Each product undergoes the same comprehensive evaluation process, allowing for true side-by-side comparison of features and performance.
Our testing covers:
- Security protocols and encryption strength
- Speed and performance across multiple global locations
- Privacy policy analysis and data handling practices
- Feature completeness and usability across devices
- Customer support responsiveness and quality
- Value assessment based on pricing and features
Transparency in Rankings
We believe in complete transparency about how we rank VPN services. Our comparison tables and recommendations are based on objective criteria and real-world testing—not advertiser relationships. When we do have affiliate partnerships (more on that below), these never influence our rankings or reviews.
Each VPN receives an overall score based on a weighted evaluation of multiple factors, with security and privacy protections always weighted most heavily in our calculations.
Regular Updates
The VPN industry evolves rapidly, with services frequently updating their offerings, security protocols, and pricing models. We commit to regularly retesting services and updating our reviews to reflect the current state of each product. You’ll always find the last update date clearly displayed on every review.
Our Business Model
We believe users deserve to understand how we operate and how we fund our extensive testing and content creation.
Affiliate Relationships
VPN Compare Pro maintains affiliate relationships with many of the VPN services we review. This means when you click certain links on our site and subsequently purchase a VPN subscription, we may earn a commission from that sale. These affiliate partnerships help fund our operations and allow us to provide our content free of charge.
Important note: Our affiliate relationships never influence our reviews or rankings. Our testing team operates independently from our business development team, and VPNs are ranked solely on their merits according to our standardized evaluation criteria. Often, our top-recommended services aren’t those offering the highest commissions.
Editorial Independence
We maintain strict editorial independence in all our content creation. Our reviewers and writers are prohibited from:
- Accepting compensation from VPN providers for favorable coverage
- Allowing affiliate commission rates to influence review scores
- Adjusting rankings based on business relationships
VPN providers have no opportunity to review or approve content before publication, and we never suppress negative findings in our reviews.
Our Commitment to You
As users of VPN services ourselves, we understand the importance of making informed choices about digital privacy tools. We commit to:
- Honesty: Delivering truthful assessments, even when they may not be favorable to a service
- Thoroughness: Testing comprehensively and reporting all relevant findings
- Clarity: Making technical information accessible without oversimplification
- Independence: Maintaining separation between business relationships and editorial content
- Improvement: Continuously refining our testing methodology and reporting
Education and Resources
Beyond our VPN comparisons and reviews, we’re committed to helping users understand online privacy and security concepts. Our resource section offers guides on:
- Understanding VPN technology and its limitations
- Protecting your digital privacy beyond VPNs
- Recognizing common threats to online security
- Navigating country-specific internet restrictions
- Implementing best practices for secure browsing
Our goal is not just to help you select a VPN, but to empower you with knowledge to make informed decisions about your digital security overall.
Our Testing Facilities
Our dedicated testing lab features a controlled environment where we can evaluate VPN performance consistently. Our facility includes:
- Multiple device types (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux)
- Various connection types and speeds
- Specialized equipment for measuring encryption implementation
- Testing environments mimicking different global regions
- Advanced tools for detecting DNS leaks, WebRTC exposures, and other security vulnerabilities
This infrastructure allows us to produce reliable, reproducible results that accurately reflect real-world performance.
Community Engagement
We value the insights and experiences of our user community. Our site features:
- User comment sections on all reviews
- A community forum for discussing VPN experiences
- Submission forms for suggesting VPNs to review
- Reporting mechanisms for users to flag discrepancies or issues
- Regular surveys to understand evolving user priorities
This feedback loop helps us ensure our reviews remain relevant to actual user needs and experiences.
