Rating: 4.7

The verdict

After 14 weeks of testing across 12 regions, NimbusVPN is the VPN we recommend without caveats. The speeds hold up under load, the apps don't get in your way, and the privacy story checks out.

Mara has spent the last decade pulling apart the things VPN companies don't want you to read. Privacy policies, audit reports, and the actual code shipping in their apps. Before joining the team she ran network security at a mid-sized financial firm and wrote independently about jurisdictional risk for several privacy-focused newsletters. Her testing methodology leans hard on reproducibility: every speed result is averaged across three regions over a two-week window, every "no-logs" claim is cross-checked against the most recent third-party audit. When she's not benchmarking servers she's reverse-engineering router firmware in a barely-ventilated office.
