Which VPNs have had their no-logs claim tested recently?
Only providers with a published third-party audit dated within the last 24 months. Ordered by recency, then by audit score.
Start from the constraint, not the ranking
Which VPN is best for me?
There is no single best VPN, only a best one for a stated requirement. KotoVPN publishes ten shortlists, each filtered by a hard condition rather than a theme — a recent audit, port forwarding, a native Apple TV app, a free tier — and each names the providers that did not qualify and the specific requirement they miss.
There is no single best VPN, only a best one for a stated requirement. Each page below runs one hard filter over the dataset, shows what qualified, and names what did not.
Which VPN gives away the least about me?
Only providers audited more than once. Ranked by the transparency criterion, then jurisdiction.
What is the cheapest VPN that is not a bad idea?
Providers scoring 55 or above overall, ordered by lowest effective monthly price. The commitment length is shown, because a low rate on a long prepayment is a different product.
Which VPN works best for streaming on a TV?
Providers with a native TV application, ordered by platform coverage. This is a structural proxy, not a measurement, and it is labelled as one.
Which VPN has an actual Apple TV app?
Only providers shipping a native Apple TV application. Ordered by platform score.
Which VPN supports port forwarding for peer-to-peer?
Only providers offering port forwarding together with a kill switch. Whether it is included or sold separately is shown, because a tick in a feature table hides that difference. Ordered by leak-protection score, then transparency.
Is there a free VPN that is not selling my traffic?
Only providers with a free tier and at least one published audit. Ordered by audit and transparency scores.
Which VPN clients can I read the source of?
Only providers publishing open-source clients. Ordered by transparency score.
How many devices can one VPN subscription cover?
Every provider we cover appears. All four allow the same number of connections, so the order is decided by native platform coverage instead.
Which VPN can I test for longest without losing money?
Providers with a stated refund window, ordered longest first. Conditions are quoted where the provider attaches any.
