Ranked by feature parity + compliance score. Migration friction is weighted higher than feature breadth.
Swedish founder-owned VPN (Mullvad VPN AB / Amagicom AB, Gothenburg, 2009), anonymous numbered accounts, Cure53-audited, flat €5/month.
Gibraltar-incorporated VPN (IVPN Limited / ex-Privatus, founded 2009), Cure53-audited no-logs, open-source apps, independent ownership.
Italian hacktivist-founded VPN (Perugia, 2010), no-logs, port forwarding — but no longer serves Italian residents (Piracy Shield).
For every product we read the public DPA, sub-processors document, hosting region declaration, and corporate ownership records. Each is timestamped. Compliance score is editorial, re-verified quarterly. We never accept self-attestation.
