Who We Are

VPN Daddy is an independent resource for VPN reviews, comparisons, speed rankings, and practical guides. Our goal is simple: help you choose the right VPN based on evidence you can verify, not marketing claims. We cover 20 providers in depth and publish head-to-head comparisons, streaming and platform guides, and plain-English explainers - all held to the same standard of honesty.

We're run by the VPN Daddy editorial team - independent researchers who follow a published methodology and a strict set of honesty rules. We attribute our work to the team rather than inventing individual bylines or credentials we can't back up.

Our Editorial Standards

Every page on this site follows these principles:

  • Evidence over claims. Scores and specs come from published documentation, third-party audits (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, Cure53 and others), documented protocol behaviour, and current pricing - never invented figures.
  • No pay-for-placement. No provider can pay to raise a score, win a comparison, or change our recommendation.
  • Honest limitations. We say when a VPN can't do something, when a claim can't be guaranteed (like beating a streaming block or a sports blackout), and when a cheaper or free option is the smarter choice.
  • No fabricated urgency. No fake countdowns or "exclusive" deals - only real, current pricing.
  • Corrections welcome. If a figure is out of date or wrong, we fix it. Email us and we'll update it.

How We Rate VPNs

Each provider is scored on the same weighted scale across five categories - Speed, Privacy, Streaming, Ease of Use, and Value - so comparisons stay consistent. Speed figures are measured against a single reference baseline, which means retention percentages are directly comparable rather than pulled from different conditions. Where we don't have a defensible number for a provider, we omit it rather than estimate. The full rubric is documented on our rating methodology page.

How We Fund Our Work

VPN Daddy earns affiliate commissions when readers buy a VPN through links on the site. Crucially, we earn commissions from every provider we list - so we have no financial incentive to favour one over another, and commissions never influence our ratings. This arrangement is disclosed on every page that contains affiliate links. For the complete details, see our affiliate disclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VPN Daddy independent?

Yes. Our reviews, rankings, and comparisons are determined entirely by our own evaluation of verifiable evidence - published specifications, independent audit reports, documented protocol behaviour, and current pricing. No VPN company can pay to change a score or win a comparison.

How does VPN Daddy make money?

We earn affiliate commissions when readers purchase a VPN through links on our site. Because we earn commissions from every provider we list, we have no financial reason to favour one over another - so commissions do not influence our ratings. This is disclosed on every page with affiliate links.

Do you actually test VPNs?

We rate providers on verifiable evidence rather than claiming a testing operation we do not run. Scores come from published specs, third-party audits, documented performance, and current pricing, compared on a consistent scale. Where we cite speed figures, they are measured against a single reference baseline so providers are directly comparable. We deliberately avoid claims we cannot stand behind.
