Our editorial team, and how we check every fact
VPN Spotlight is written by an editorial team that follows VPN providers, their audits and the rules in the countries we cover, in Arabic and in English.
Here is what we rely on, what we never claim, and how to tell us when we get something wrong.
What every fact rests on
Prices, servers, devices, refund terms and features, read on the official pages and dated.
The auditor's name, the year and the report, for every no-logs claim we repeat.
The law itself or the regulator's own words, for every statement about what is legal.
Independent speed and streaming reviews, and research such as the 2016 CSIRO study of free VPN apps.
What we do, and what we never do
- Link the source of every fact.
- Date the prices and the checks.
- Say when we could not confirm something.
- Re-read the facts every month.
- Invent tests or hands-on results.
- Let a referral commission change a ranking.
- Present an opinion as the law.
- Hide who owns the brands we review.
How we stay current
- 1Every month
We re-read the providers' pages and audits and update the rankings when a price, a feature or an audit changes.
- 2When it happens
Big changes, such as a new regulator statement, go in straight away.
- 3Where to look

We do not publish speed or unblocking tests of our own. Our reviews rest on what providers publish, independent audits, the law texts and published independent reviews, each with its source.
