1. What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a tracked link to a VPN provider. If you click and subscribe, we earn a commission from the provider. It costs you nothing extra – you pay the same price as visiting directly.
2. Our partnerships
We have affiliate partnerships with NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, ProtonVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, VyprVPN, Astrill VPN and CactusVPN among others. Commission varies between 20–100 % of the first payment depending on provider.
3. Does commission affect our rankings?
No. Our top list is based on performance, security, price and features – not commission level. We regularly rank lower-paying services like Mullvad VPN higher than higher-paying ones if we deem them better for the user.
4. How do we test VPN services?
We subscribe ourselves, run speed tests from Swedish connections to various destinations, verify streaming compatibility, review security features and read independent security audits. See our methodology for details.
5. How is this different from paid ads?
Affiliate differs from traditional advertising in that we don't take payment to write positively about a service. We only earn when a user actually subscribes – and only if our recommendation led to it.
6. How to recognize affiliate links
All 'Visit' buttons and links to VPN services in our top lists are affiliate links. We also mark them clearly in the text. External links to news and articles are not affiliate.
