deserves real credit for realizing the importance of audits so long ago – many providers still don't get it, even today – but we think it's probably time to take another one, something more thorough, where everyone can read the full results. There's little information on the scope of the audit, and no report you can read. It turns out that audit dates from 2015, though. The company claims this is supported by a 'comprehensive audit', and that ' has been certified as the most anonymous VPN service in the industry.' But again, that's to be expected, and if the logs don't show anything significant, that won't matter at all. says it will comply with court orders received by recognized legal authorities with jurisdiction over them. It also keeps your email address, but that's to be expected, too. does keep a running total of data transfer usage, but that's no surprise for a service where some plans have bandwidth limits. In addition, we NEVER store VPN connection logs and timestamps that match your incoming and outgoing IP address or session duration." The Privacy Policy goes on to rule out both activity and session logging, explaining that: "We do NOT keep logs of your VPN sessions, browsing behavior, websites you visit, or any activity related to your VPN connection. has a strict "no logging, ever" policy, the company claims, saying: "Logs can easily link actions back to you, and some VPN providers pass these onto law officials when told to do so. keeps no logs on its users (Image credit: ) Privacy

And Private Internet Access is cheaper still, with its three-year plan (including free antivirus) costing only $2.19 a month. Ivacy's two-year plan also includes 2TB of cloud storage, and is just $2.45 a month. But if price is a priority, there are many cheaper deals around. The two-year plan offers the best value at $4.99 a month, especially as it also includes 2TB of encrypted cloud storage. The old six-month plan has gone, and the annual plan has risen from the $3.75 a month we saw last time to $8.32 today. That's around the same as ExpressVPN and CyberGhost, but Private Internet Access, Hotspot Shield, Ivacy and many others charge around $10.

A new WireGuardNT switch enables running WireGuard in the Windows kernel for even better performance. The last few months have been relatively quiet in terms of changes for, though we noticed one welcome improvement. Doesn't sound like the best idea as TCP is normally slower, but applies other tricks, too – hardware offloading, multiplexing through TLS 1.3 channels, encryption via AES-GCM (圆4) or ChaCha-Poly-1305 (ARM) – and the results were impressive (more on that later). MultiHop VPN enables choosing any entry or exit server from 's full location list.Ī VPN Bolt feature for Windows claims to accelerate speeds by routing all traffic through TCP rather than UDP. Some VPNs have similar features – NordVPN's Double VPN, say – but they often restrict the servers you can use. The extra hop may slow you down a little, but it can help bypass VPN blocking and makes it more difficult for anyone to track who you are. Recent additions include MultiHop VPN, where you connect to one location and exit from another.
