Why Trust VPN Security Blog?

We understand that trust must be earned, especially in the privacy and security space. Here's what sets us apart from other VPN review sites and why thousands of users rely on our recommendations.

Editorial Independence & Affiliate Relationships

Full Transparency: VPN Security Blog participates in affiliate marketing programs with VPN providers including NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, Private Internet Access, and CyberGhost. This means we may earn commissions when readers purchase VPN services through our links.

How We Maintain Complete Editorial Independence

• Testing-First Approach: All reviews are based on our independent testing results, not affiliate relationship status
• Honest Critical Assessment: We publish negative reviews and critical assessments even for high-commission affiliate partners
• Performance-Based Rankings: Our recommendations are based solely on testing results and user value, never commission rates
• No Pay-for-Play: VPN providers cannot pay for favorable reviews or higher rankings
• Clear Disclosure: All affiliate relationships are prominently disclosed on every relevant page
• Editorial Team Separation: Our review team operates independently from business development and affiliate management

How Affiliate Commissions Support Our Work

Our affiliate commissions help fund our testing infrastructure, professional-grade equipment, multiple internet connections for global testing, and allow us to maintain complete independence from advertising. This funding model ensures we can provide free, comprehensive content while maintaining editorial integrity.

Our editorial opinions are never for sale. We have turned down lucrative partnerships with VPN services that don't meet our quality standards, proving our commitment to honest, unbiased reviews.
