How We Make Money

VPNScout is a free service that helps you find the best VPN for your needs. We earn money through affiliate commissions when you click on links to VPN providers and subscribe to their services. This means we receive a percentage of your subscription at no extra cost to you.

Our Affiliate Partners

We work with various VPN providers, including but not limited to:

• NordVPN
• ExpressVPN
• Surfshark
• CyberGhost
• ProtonVPN
• Private Internet Access
• And other reputable VPN services

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our rankings or reviews. We analyze privacy policies and audit reports, verify jurisdictions, and track real plan pricing — citing published third-party tests for performance. Our privacy-first approach means we will never recommend a VPN that compromises your security.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on a "Visit Provider" or "Get Deal" button on our site:

1. You are redirected to the VPN provider's website
2. A tracking code identifies that you came from VPNScout
3. If you subscribe, we receive a commission
4. You often get exclusive discounts through our links

No Extra Cost to You

Using our affiliate links never costs you extra money. In fact, we often negotiate exclusive discounts with VPN providers, so you may actually pay less using our links.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate commissions allow us to:

• Keep VPNScout completely free for users
• Cite published third-party performance tests, always attributed
• Verify privacy policies and security claims
• Pay for hosting, development, and operational costs
