Hey, We're BestVPNTips

We're a bunch of digital nomads, privacy nerds, and streaming addicts who got tired of reading VPN reviews that felt like they were written by robots (or worse, by the VPN companies themselves). So we made our own.

Our Story

It started when one of us was stuck in a hostel in Vietnam, desperately trying to watch the Champions League final. The "top-rated" VPN we'd bought based on some random review? Completely useless. That's when we realized most VPN reviews are garbage.

We're remote workers who hop between time zones, privacy enthusiasts who've read way too many terms of service, and yes, people who just want to watch Netflix libraries from other countries. We test VPNs the way you'll actually use them — on sketchy airport WiFi, in countries with strict internet rules, and while trying to stream the latest shows.

Real talk about money: Yeah, we make affiliate commissions when you buy through our links. But here's the thing — we'd rather you buy nothing than buy something that sucks. Our reputation is worth more than a quick buck.

No BS Reviews

We actually pay for and use these VPNs ourselves. If it sucks, we'll tell you.

Real-World Testing

We test from coffee shops in Bali, apartments in Berlin, and everywhere in between.

Community First

We recommend what we'd tell our friends, not what pays the highest commission.

Been There, Done That

Dealt with geo-blocks, sketchy WiFi, and privacy scares. We know the struggle.

How We Actually Test

No lab coats here — just real-world testing by people who actually use this stuff

1

The Speed Reality Check

We test speeds from wherever we happen to be — coworking spaces, Airbnbs, coffee shops with questionable WiFi. You know, the places you'll actually use a VPN.

2

The "Can I Actually Stream?" Test

Netflix, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, local sports — we try to watch what we want to watch. If it doesn't work, we'll tell you.

3

The Privacy Deep Dive

We actually read the privacy policies (so you don't have to). We check for leaks, verify no-logs claims, and dig into the company's history.

4

The "Is It Worth It?" Verdict

We compare what you're paying vs. what you're getting. Some expensive VPNs are worth it. Some cheap ones are amazing. We'll tell you the difference.
