Look for an independently audited no-logs policy. Any VPN can claim it doesn’t keep logs. An outside audit is the evidence.
Compare the renewal price, not just the deal. VPNs often advertise a heavily discounted first term. Check what you’ll pay when it renews.
Count your devices. Laptops, phones and tablets add up fast. Check how many devices one plan covers.
Test the speed where you are. Use the trial or money-back period to test video calls and uploads from your own location.
Check the safety features. A kill switch, which cuts your connection if the VPN drops, matters most on public Wi-Fi.
