About Us

BestVPN is an independent VPN review website founded to improve the VPN industry. We saw that the market was full of unsafe VPN apps and biased review sites that didn’t properly test them. So, we decided to change that.

Since then, we’ve spent over 30,000 hours testing VPNs and sharing our findings. We’ve also conducted research on internet privacy, security, and online freedom to help users stay safe.

What We Do?

BestVPN was created to push for a better VPN industry and a more open internet.

For years, our team of independent experts has used a scientific approach to help users choose the right VPN services. Unlike other review sites, we do our own testing and gather real data to evaluate VPN performance. Our ratings are completely unbiased and free from outside influence.

We work with native speakers from 10 countries to make our recommendations more useful for a global audience. We also publish research on online censorship, privacy, and security to keep users informed.

Why VPN Services Matter?

Millions of people use VPNs for online privacy, security, and unrestricted access to content. But not all VPNs are safe, and picking the right one requires knowledge. Many VPN review websites are biased or rely on flawed testing methods, making it hard to find trustworthy information.

BestVPN was created to provide honest, expert, and data-driven VPN reviews without financial influence. Our goal is to improve the VPN industry and help users take control of their online lives.

Our Review Process

Unlike many VPN review websites, we conduct our own tests to evaluate VPN performance. Every recommendation is based on real-world testing by our experts.

We are fully independent and not connected to any VPN provider. We buy our own VPN subscriptions to test them fairly. We never accept payment for reviews or give special treatment to VPN companies.

Our priority is our readers. We focus on giving you honest, unbiased advice.

Independent Research That Makes A Difference

We regularly publish research on internet censorship, digital rights, and cybersecurity. Our goal is to raise awareness and make the internet safer and more private.

Our work has influenced major organizations, including the United Nations and the U.S. International Trade Commission. It has also been featured in over 700 publications worldwide, including The Financial Times, ZDNet, NBC News, The New York Times, PC Mag, and CNET.

Supporting Advocacy Campaigns

We proudly support organizations that fight for an open internet and digital rights.

Recently, we partnered with Open Rights Group to study web content filters in the UK. We also helped Internet Without Borders by providing activists in Chad with secure VPN services and access to essential data.
