For the first time, the most popular paid VPN Android apps in the world have undergone the same set of rigorous privacy and security tests that form the basis of my free VPN investigations.

This resulting report identifies potentially unsafe paid VPNs, while also establishing a benchmark for comparison with free Android VPNs.

See the full list of the 30 VPNs I tested, including developer names and addresses, installs and other Play Store listing details.

Over the last six years of investigating free VPNs, I’ve developed a comprehensive set of technical tests to identify security and privacy flaws in Android VPN apps.

Together with my colleagues, I’ve conducted thousands of tests on paid VPNs over the years as part of our review process, but this is the first time I’ve applied my free VPN testing methodology on leading paid VPNs.

This is a significant and growing number of people who entrust their sensitive data to paid VPN services and who have the right to expect the very highest standards.
