STEALTHVPN GUIDE
Make sense of VPN reviews.
A useful review tells you what was tested, when, and how.

When?
Article update and actual test date are different.
- 02
How?
Protocol, devices, routes and baselines affect results.
- 03
Whose evidence?
Publisher ownership and commercial incentives matter.
Source-backed does not mean we reran the publisher’s tests. Read the original methodology alongside the verdict.
Read the method behind the verdict.
Speed and streaming results depend on servers, locations, devices, and timing. A result from another reviewer is useful context, but it is not a guarantee for your connection.
Check what the date means.
An updated article date does not necessarily mean every test was repeated. Look for the actual test date, app version, and region. Our collection date means we fetched the page’s metadata, not that we reran its tests.
Keep ratings in context.
Our provisional editorial metascore normalizes eligible overall review ratings and gives each publisher family one equal share. Category scores, customer averages and speed measurements stay outside that calculation. Read the original scope and the disagreement as well as the number.
Follow the incentives.
Publishers can earn affiliate commissions, sell advertising, or have other commercial relationships. Read their disclosures alongside the review. Our commercial directory includes services with available affiliate programs. See our coverage policy.
Read the source context.
Our expanded on-site summaries retain publisher names, original scales, dated metadata and caveats. Full reviews remain with their authors. Commercial-review outbound links are not included on the review cards.
