VPN Comparison
This table compares roughly 30 major VPNs. Aside from price, here are some important things to look out for:
- Jurisdiction — this is where the company does business, and whose laws they must obey. Some prefer to avoid Western countries.
- Logs — this means whether or not the provider logs connection data. Some VPN providers log IP addresses used to connect to the VPN or other connection data. Other providers log even more. Aim for a no-log provider!
- Countries — how many countries does the provider have servers in? The more choice, the better!
