The verdict

Vaultway is the VPN for the editor who actually reads the documentation. You can override routing tables, run your own DNS rules, and chain multi-hop pairs by hand. It is not for someone who wants a one-click solution.

1,800 servers in 54 countries - smaller but well-maintained.

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.
