Affiliate Links on VPNReview
VPNReview is an independent VPN and privacy tool testing lab. To cover testing infrastructure costs, some pages contain affiliate links.
How it works
When you click an affiliate link on VPNReview and sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Your subscription price is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.
Where we use affiliate links
Affiliate links appear in:
- VPN reviews — when we recommend a VPN service
- Comparison guides — when comparing multiple VPNs
- How-to guides — when we reference specific tools or services
Every affiliate link is clearly marked with a disclosure notice. We partner with the following affiliate networks and programs:
| Network / Program | Services |
|---|---|
| Impact | ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, and other VPN partners |
| DigitalOcean | VPS hosting for self-hosted VPN solutions |
| Vultr | VPS hosting |
| Amazon Associates | VPN hardware (routers, Raspberry Pi) |
What we don’t do
- We do not accept payment for reviews or rankings
- We do not inflate ratings for affiliate partners
- We do not include affiliate links in negative reviews
- We do not recommend a service we wouldn’t use ourselves
Testing integrity
Every VPN on this site goes through the same controlled testing process — speed benchmarks, streaming tests, DNS leak checks, and kill switch verification — regardless of affiliate status. If a VPN performs poorly, we publish the data.
