Figures for writers, each computed from our register with its method and date. Charts and logos are free to download.
VPNInfobase is an independent research publication on VPN ownership, independent audits and pricing. We do not run speed tests. Every fact in the register links to the page it came from.
- Questions or corrections: contact page. How we work: about and method.
- Every figure below is computed from our own dataset when the site is built, with its method and date. If a number changes, the dataset changed. More: the data API and the free tools and downloads.
