Laws in some countries mandate that Internet providers save certain data or store logs of their users and maintain them for a specific period of time. First of all, we looked at where each provider is headquartered and registered, owing to the impact this has upon their legal culpability and ultimately, privacy policies. Which provider is more secure? To measure this, we used a few different criteria.


In our eyes at least, we can't pick a clear winner. NordVPN compensates for this with its "Specialty Servers", which are optimized for certain activity or purposes: P2P servers are designed for peer-to-peer platforms like BitTorrent, whereas "Onion Over VPN" establishes a connection to the Tor network for enhanced anonymity.ĭepending upon how important (or unimportant) either feature is for you, as well as which user interface is more to your liking, you might favor one service over the other. This makes it possible to select which apps use the VPN tunnel you've created, coming in handy when downloading since it will allow you to stream video content from Germany while downloading a file from Los Angeles with both occurring at normal speeds.ĭespite receiving equal points, there are some differences between the two: ExpressVPN offers up a better browser extension, which not only creates a proxy connection but also serves as a sort of remote control for the main desktop client, making high-quality VPN connections possible. In terms of functionality, both apps include a kill switch, as well as most of the features we expect from a VPN, such as split tunneling.
