<h1>About VPNSites</h1><p>VPNSites is an independent VPN review and comparison site built for one simple reason: choosing a VPN should not require a degree in network security. Every day we test, benchmark and re-test the VPN services people actually shop for, then translate the results into plain English so you can pick the right provider in minutes instead of weeks.</p><p>Since launching, our mission has stayed the same - help readers protect their privacy online, unblock the content they pay for, and avoid overpaying for a VPN that does not deliver. Whether you want a VPN for streaming Netflix and BBC iPlayer, safe torrenting, gaming without ISP throttling, or simply keeping your browsing private on public Wi‑Fi, our reviews and rankings are designed to get you there fast.</p><p><br></p><h2>What We Do</h2><p>We buy and use the VPNs we write about. Our team runs hands‑on speed tests across multiple server locations, verifies streaming and torrenting support, inspects logging policies and audit reports, checks for DNS and IP leaks, and measures how quickly customer support actually responds. The result is a ranked, regularly updated shortlist of the best VPN services, plus in‑depth reviews of the providers behind them.</p><ul><li><strong>Independent VPN reviews</strong> - full write‑ups on Surfshark, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Mullvad and dozens more.</li><li><strong>Side‑by‑side comparisons</strong> - speed, price, server count, device limits and features in one table.</li><li><strong>Real‑world testing</strong> - streaming, torrenting, gaming and everyday browsing performance.</li><li><strong>Privacy guides</strong> - practical explainers on encryption, protocols, kill switches and no‑logs policies.</li><li><strong>Current deals</strong> - verified discounts so you never pay list price for a VPN subscription.</li><li><br></li></ul><h2>Meet David, Our Lead Writer</h2><p>David is the main writer and editorial lead at VPNSites. He plans the testing schedule, runs the benchmarks, and writes the majority of the reviews, buying guides and comparison pieces you will find on this site. With a background in network security and consumer technology journalism, David has spent years cutting through VPN marketing claims to work out what a service really offers once you install it.</p><p>His approach is deliberately unglamorous: subscribe with a real account, test from real locations, publish the numbers, and update the review when something changes. If a well‑known provider slips on speed, quietly changes its logging policy, or stops working with a major streaming platform, David rewrites the verdict, even when it costs the site an affiliate commission. Every article he publishes carries a clear byline and a last‑updated date so you always know who wrote it and how fresh the advice is.</p><p><br></p><h2>How We Rate VPNs</h2><p>Every VPN on VPNSites is scored against the same five criteria, so a 4.8 means the same thing on every page:</p><ol><li><strong>Security and privacy</strong> - AES‑256 encryption, modern protocols (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2), kill switch, leak protection and an independently audited no‑logs policy.</li><li><strong>Speed and performance</strong> - download, upload and latency tests on nearby and long‑distance servers, repeated at different times of day.</li><li><strong>Streaming and torrenting</strong> - whether the VPN reliably unblocks major libraries and supports P2P on dedicated servers.</li><li><strong>Ease of use and support</strong> - app quality across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and routers, plus live chat responsiveness.</li><li><strong>Value for money</strong> - price per month on real plans, simultaneous connections, refund policy and what you actually get for the fee.</li></ol><p>Scores are recalculated whenever we retest, which means our rankings move. A VPN cannot buy a higher position, a better score, or a softer verdict.</p><p><br></p><h2>Editorial Independence and How We Make Money</h2><p>VPNSites is free to read and funded by affiliate commissions. If you buy a subscription through one of our links, the provider may pay us a fee at no extra cost to you, and in most cases you pay less, because we negotiate or verify the discounts we list. Those commissions keep the lights on, but they do not decide the order of our rankings or the wording of our reviews. Testing comes first; monetisation comes after. Where a provider we earn nothing from is the better choice, we say so.</p><p><br></p><h2>Why Readers Trust VPNSites</h2><p>We publish our testing methodology, we date‑stamp our updates, we name the person behind each review, and we correct ourselves in public when we get something wrong. That transparency is the whole product. VPN marketing is full of superlatives; our job is to replace them with numbers, screenshots and a straight recommendation.</p><p><br></p><h2>Get in Touch</h2><p>Spotted an error, run a VPN service you think we should review, or want David to answer a question before you subscribe? We read every message and reply to genuine enquiries - corrections and reader questions go straight to the editorial desk.</p><p><em>VPNSites does not provide legal advice. Always check the laws that apply where you live before using a VPN, and use one responsibly.</em></p>
