Our Core Value
Commitment to Objective, Verifiable Data
In a world of sponsored content and biased reviews, VPN Insider stands apart. We're dedicated to a rigorous, transparent, and hands-on testing methodology. Our only goal is to provide you with the unvarnished truth about VPN performance and privacy.
A Testing Process Built on Trust
We don't just read marketing claims. We put every VPN through a battery of standardized, repeatable tests to measure what truly matters.
Security Feature Verification
We manually trigger network failures to confirm the kill switch functionality. We test split tunneling with multiple apps to ensure traffic is routed correctly, preventing accidental data exposure.
DNS & WebRTC Leak Testing
Using custom-built tools and third-party verification, we check for any DNS, IPv6, or WebRTC leaks that could expose your real IP address, even when the VPN is active.
Hands-On Logging Policy Audits
We don't take "no-logs" claims at face value. We analyze privacy policies, terms of service, and any available third-party audits to identify potential loopholes or data collection practices.
Standardized Speed Benchmarks
From a dedicated line, we run automated speed tests to multiple global endpoints at set intervals. This provides a consistent baseline for download, upload, and latency across all reviewed VPNs.
"Our promise is simple: we will never accept payment for a positive review. Our editorial integrity is not for sale, and our rankings are based on data, not dollars."
