European vpn services

A VPN service routes your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to one of its servers, so the sites you visit see that server's address rather than yours, and the network you are connected to sees only the tunnel. That is useful on public wifi, on networks that filter traffic, and for keeping your provider from logging every site you open.

A VPN moves trust rather than removing it: the operator is now in the position your internet provider used to hold. Mullvad VPN, Proton VPN, IVPN and GOOSE VPN are European companies, so their logging practices and any legal orders they face fall under EU or EEA law. When comparing European VPN services, read the logging policy and look for an independent audit of it.
