How We Make Money & Affiliate Disclosure

How VPNexp Makes Money (So You Know How We Stay Independent)
VPNexp is free for readers. We do not sell VPN software, and we do not charge you to use our reviews or guides. To support our work, we sometimes earn money when you sign up for a VPN through links on our site.

Some of the links on VPNexp are affiliate links. This means:

  • If you click a link to a VPN provider and make a purchase, we may receive a commission.
  • This commission comes at no additional cost to you.
  • These commissions help us maintain the site, improve our tools, and continue creating in-depth guides.

Does This Affect Our Rankings or Reviews?

No. Our editorial team and our revenue model are intentionally separated:

  • VPN providers cannot pay to be included in our rankings.
  • VPN providers cannot pay to improve their score or position.
  • We recommend and critique VPNs based on data, analysis, and editorial judgment—not on affiliate payouts.

If a VPN offers a high commission but has serious privacy or performance issues, we will say so and may recommend alternatives instead.

At this time, VPNexp does not publish sponsored reviews or paid rankings.
If we ever publish sponsored content in the future, it will be:

  • Clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement”
  • Kept separate from our independent editorial recommendations

Your Trust Comes First

We know that trust is essential when it comes to privacy and security tools. We therefore:

  • Disclose our affiliate relationships
  • Explain how we earn money
  • Commit not to let revenue dictate our recommendations
