What we collect.
Public provider plan billings and review metadata, when accessible. Some sites block automated collection or require browser selection before displaying a price. A skipped collection does not update an existing observation. NordVPN’s initial prices were checked manually on its official pricing page; direct collection returned HTTP 403.
Privacy intelligence.
Jurisdiction and ownership dossiers link each fact to provider documents and published country-set research. Labels are our classification, not an intelligence-sharing allegation. This research has its own review dates and is not refreshed by price collection.
Related privacy tools.
The privacy tools source list records official price, policy, technical and affiliate-program documents for five products. These are manually checked observations, with unresolved renewal prices and unreviewed audit scope shown in each profile.
VPN use-case research.
Our everyday-use guides cover official service rules, network privacy and private access. Each links its dated sources and separates documented behavior from purchase, playback or savings tests that we have not performed. Download the guide research.
Company logos and artwork.
Service and publisher marks are reproduced for editorial identification. AI-generated guide illustrations are labelled; interface captures show our own dated UI. Read these image sources and scope notes. Steam and the Steam logo are trademarks of Valve Corporation. © 2026 Valve Corporation.
Company marks identify the named service. Course covers, application illustrations and promotional banners are attributed to their official source beside each image. Supplied interfaces may differ from today’s app; illustrations are not StealthVPN test results. Read the asset sources and reuse notes.
Illustrated software guides.
Eight client setup walkthroughs pair platform-specific steps with genuine publisher screenshots and official-documentation captures. Version scope, functional checklists, symptom checks and rollback are explicit; missing screenshot version information stays unknown. Sources, image origin and untested scope are visible in each walkthrough. Guide research and image metadata.
What remains with the source.
Full editorial reviews, customer review text, and testing methodology remain on publisher websites. Raw acquisition captures and account configuration are excluded from the public build.
