Surfshark is owned by the same parent company as NordVPN, but costs less. I investigate why, how the merger actually works, and whether you should buy.
A real-world test sent GDPR data requests to 10 VPNs. Only ONE responded properly. NordVPN and TunnelBear blew past the legal deadline. Here's what 'we protect your privacy' actually means.
Honest NordVPN vs CyberGhost comparison. CyberGhost owned by Kape (alleged ex-malware distributor) since 2017. NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$60 from Nord, $0 from CyberGhost. Here's why neither is ideal.
Honest NordVPN vs ExpressVPN comparison. ExpressVPN owned by Kape (alleged ex-malware distributor). NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from Express. Here's why neither is ideal.
NordVPN vs IPVanish comparison. IPVanish owned by Ziff Davis (also owns PCMag reviewing it). 2016: logged users despite no-logs claims. NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$40 from Nord, $0 from IPVanish.
NordVPN vs Mullvad comparison. Mullvad: €5/mo forever, no email, raided by police who found nothing. NordVPN: $12.99/mo renewal, 2018 breach hidden 18 months. I make ~$60 from Nord, $0 from Mullvad.
NordVPN vs PIA comparison. PIA sold to Kape for $127M in 2019 while $30M in debt. NordVPN hid 2018 breach. I make ~$60 from Nord, $0 from PIA. Why Reddit lost faith in both.
Honest NordVPN vs ProtonVPN comparison. I make ~$60 from NordVPN, ~$25 from ProtonVPN. Here's why I'm recommending the one that pays me less.
