There's way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

But they are presenting the answers equal to others. That's the point. You can't make an article and ask some scientist and a madman questions and then present the answers next to each other, pretending the madman has equally valid output. They should put disclaimers on each provider with the different problems that occur with the certain provider. Like they were caught logging, they were breached, they are under bad jurisdictions etc

TorrentFreak already puts these questions directly to the providers. Again, do everyone a favour and actually read this article you are so intent on criticising. You seem to have absolutely zero understanding of it. It's almost as if you skipped directly to NordVPN, saw it was listed first and made up this entire fake story in your head.

I did and I know they put the questions to the provider, but what is it worth if they have been caught lying but still answer "no we don't log" I believe they should highlight that fact.
