VPN Transparency Index 2026
A clear view of how much documentation each catalog record currently exposes and how much of that evidence can be inspected.
Documentation coverage, not a VPN ranking
This index counts whether four evidence dimensions are recorded. It is not a safety certification, performance score, “best VPN” ranking, user rating or endorsement. A higher coverage count does not mean a provider is safer or faster.
