7 of the best VPNs that maintain a strict no-logging policy

UPDATE: October 22, 2019, 12:21 p.m. EDT This story has been updated following news that a NordVPN server was hacked.

A good VPN provides you with extra security when browsing online, watching Netflix overseas, torrenting, or surfing the web in China. We've written extensively about VPNs in the past, giving recommendations on which VPN to get according to Reddit users, as well as which VPNs are the fastest. But what about the most secure?

Connecting to the internet by way of a VPN means that your ISP can't see what you're doing and neither can the authorities. That only works if your VPN doesn't keep logs, though. Otherwise, those logs can help trace your online activities.

This is a particular problem if your VPN service is located in one of the 5/9/14-Eyes Alliance countries whereby surveillance agencies are more likely to be legally allowed to access your browsing history.

Understandably, this can all be an issue for some privacy conscious users, especially if you're trying to use a VPN to get around a country's restrictive censorship laws.

While many VPN clients promise that they don't keep any logs of your activities, the idea of a "no-logs policy" can mean a number of different things. Some companies can still keep more information than you feel comfortable about providing. A strict no-logs policy is what's needed most of all if you want your data to be kept away from roving eyes.

Whatever your reason for keeping secure online, it's important to pick out the right no-logs VPN for you. Here's a look at the best options for you and your budget. Hit the grey arrow on each to expand the full card and read why each made our list.
